Category: 

Salaat

According to Madhhab: 

Hanafi

Reference: 

1441-085

Question: 

There was some small piece of food (bread) which stuck in my teeth. While in Salaat, by mistake, I ate it. Will my Salaat be annulled? 

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. [Re:- Behishti Zewar Pg.137].
