Why does yawning increase during prayer and disappear outside of it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Yawing is from Satan, and a worshiper must suppress it as much as possible; otherwise, he should place his hand over his mouth, whether inside or outside of prayer. Placing the hand over the mouth is not disliked in this case. The worshiper should enter prayer with energy and determination, and ask Allah for well-being from what befalls him.
