What is the ruling on my praying in the mosque when I have hiccups (hiccups) for a whole day, which might cause disturbance to the worshippers due to the sound and vibration?
Congregational prayer in the mosque is obligatory. If the sound is low and does not disturb the worshippers, it is not considered an excuse for absence. However, if the sound is loud and disturbs the worshippers, it is permissible to be absent from prayer in the mosque to prevent their harm. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade those who ate garlic and onions from approaching the mosque, explaining that this was due to the annoyance caused to the angels. Similarly, raising one's voice in mosques is disliked and prohibited. Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, indeed censured those who raised their voices in the mosque.
