What Does One Do if They Have Impure Meat Stuck in Their Teeth While Praying?

Answered by Shaykh Yusuf Weltch

Question 

What does one do if they have impermissible and therefore impure meat stuck in their teeth while praying?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

The prayer is sound.

Having food stuck between the teeth does not invalidate the prayer. Furthermore, it is unlikely that the meat, although impure, exceeded the excused amount of impurity for the prayer. [Tahtawi/Shurunbulali, Hashiyat Maraqi al-Falah]

Hope this helps

Allah knows best
