Q
What is the significance of rinsing the mouth before prayer in Islamic practice?
A
In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) till we reached Sahba, a place near
Khaibar, where Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) offered the `Asr prayer and asked for food. Nothing but saweeq
was brought. He ordered it to be moistened with water. He and all of us ate it and the Prophet (ﷺ) got up
for the evening prayer (Maghrib prayer), rinsed his mouth with water and we did the same, and he
then prayed without repeating the ablution.
