Ruling on Reciting Ta‘awwudh After Yawning in Islam

Is Reciting Ta‘awwudh After Yawning Permissible?


Taken from: Fatāwā Amanpuri by Shaykh Ghulam Mustafa Zaheer Amanpuri


❖ Question:​


Is it correct to recite Ta‘awwudh (أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم) after yawning?


❖ Answer:​


Reciting Ta‘awwudh after yawning is not legislated in Shari‘ah. However, if someone does recite it, there is no harm, since yawning is from Shaytan.


❀ Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
أما التثاؤب، فإنما هو من الشيطان، فليرده ما استطاع، فإذا قال: ها، ضحك منه الشيطان
Yawning is from Shaytan, so one should try to restrain it as much as possible. When a person yawns and says “Ahh,” Shaytan laughs at him.
(Sahih al-Bukhari: 6223)
