Thank you .
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedIt is permissible to gently clear mucus or saliva to make prayer easier. If parents notice and object, it is better to clear it quietly, without making noise, with a light movement. There is no need to cough or clear the throat forcefully—just enough to remove the blockage in the throat.
Both ease in prayer and health are important; do not harm your health out of fear of your parents’ displeasure.
