Tasting food in one's mouth while performing salaah
Question
If one ate food right before praying, and can still taste the food in their mouth even though they cannot feel any food particles, just the taste, can they swallow it during prayer?
Answer
If there are absolutely no particles then this will not affect the salaah. However, just to clear the doubt gargle your mouth properly before getting into salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
