The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, he spits. Even if he is not a layperson, this thing may harm him. I mean, if Satan opens the door of waswas (whispers) to you while you are praying, what is required of you is to spit three times to your left and to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. It is said that if there is someone to your left, either it is said that seeking refuge is sufficient, so you seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, or it is said to turn and spit a little so that it does not reach your companion. Yes.
