RULING OF BELCHING/BURPING

RULING OF BELCHING/BURPING

Question:

What is the ruling on belching/burping? Is there a specific hadith in relation to it?

Answer:

From the hadith of Ibn Umar:

“A man burped while in the company of the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and he said to him, ‘Save us from your burping, for the most satisfied one in this life will be hungry for the longest time on the Day of Resurrection.’

[Tirmidhi #2478]

So burping in front of the people is Makruh (disliked) as shown in the above Sahih (authentic) Hadith.
