The ruling on food remnants found in the mouth during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
You say: What is the ruling on food remnants found in the mouth during prayer? Is it sufficient to remove them from the mouth, or must one exit the prayer, rinse the mouth, and then return to start the prayer anew?
Answer: What is in the mouth of food remnants or meat does not harm the prayer, whether it remains or one removes it during the prayer and discards it, or places it in a handkerchief or in his pocket. The point is that food remnants or meat remnants in the teeth do not harm the person, but he must not swallow them. If he removes them, he should throw them in his pocket or in his handkerchief. If he leaves them in a molar or similar place until he finishes the prayer, it does not harm it. His prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah; because he is not considered to be eating or drinking with this. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
