Swallowing Food And The Validity Of Prayer
Asalamualaikum,
I want to ask some questions regarding swallowing food and the validity of prayer.
1. I’ve read that swallowing a food particle larger than the size of a chickpea invalidates prayer – is this true?
2. If someone has just eaten a meal and has the taste of that meal in their mouth, is it okay to be swallow this saliva during prayer? What if there are food particles stuck between the teeth that may be adding to the taste of this saliva?
3. Does mucus or phlegm fall under the category of food – are they also impermissible to swallow?
JazakAllah!

I would also really appreciate if this article can be deciphered for me? Are they implying that if the taste in the mouth is changing and there are food particles present in the mouth, then swallowing saliva invalidates the fast? Is this only if the taste is changing, or as long as there is as a taste of food? And does this apply to prayer?
