Help! I Yawn During Salah – Can Prayer Stop It?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I would like to know that as soon as I start salah I begin to yawn. Please assist. Can I say a prayer to stop me from yawning?

Bismillaah

A: You cannot recite any Duaa during salaah to stop you from yawning. Try your best to suppress the yawn during salaah by closing your mouth. If this is difficult, you may place your hand on your mouth. 

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
