Food Swallowed While Performing Salaah
Question
There was a small piece of bread stuck between my teeth and I swallowed it while in Salaah. Is my Salaah nullified?
Answer
If the food particle that was swallowed was equal in size to a lentil/chick-pea or larger than that, the Salaah will be invalid. However, if it was less than in size than that, the Salaah will be valid.
