❖ Question:

Shaykh, a heart patient asks: If chest pain occurs during prayer, can he place medication under his tongue while still in prayer?

❖ Answer:

It is not permissible to eat or drink anything during Salah. If a person begins to feel unwell during prayer, the correct course of action is to:

➊ Break the prayer,
➋ Use the necessary medication,
➌ And then, after recovery, repeat the prayer.
