could someone advise me as to whether burping after eating, and at other random times(whilst praying, watching tv, chatting etc) is sunnah ?? ive heard its not sunnah to say alhamdulillah and was confused
JAzakAllah kheir in advance for your replies (i hope you do reply)
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
I'm not too sure on this, but I think it's normal. We can't exactly prevent ourselves from burping, can we? It just randomly comes out, nothing we can do about it, so it's fine in my opinion.
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.
To Brother Ali, I am agreed with what you have said. It just automatically comes out and we can't do anything with that burping. We cannot forced it to stop because it would be bad health. If you are feeling to expect burping to come out then you can do with polite and keep it to be quiet burping if you can.
But I will gladly if someone will explaining more, Insha'Allah!

This is something that is similar that might help,
Question: Many Muslims, after burping or sighing, systematically say: "Astaghfirullâh". It is my understanding, though, that there's no such sunnah and that it is merely cultural.

It is permissible to seek forgiveness at any time. However, a person should not make a specific habit out of doing so after burping or sighing, because this is not according to the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and some people might misconstrue it to be a Sunnah.
Also this is a small Hadith related to Burping
Abu Juhayfah (radhi allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said to a man who burped in his presence: “Stop your burping, for the people who eat the most in this life will be the most hungry on the Day of Resurrection.” [Reported by al-Hakim. Saheeh al-Jamee (1190)]
I once heard you can say astaghfirullah after burping, but it this true?

Sis rabarbara2008 This answer shows that it is not from the Sunnah to say Astagfirullah after burping..
oh, maybe i should clarify...im not talking about the odd little burp which pops out now and then. i know these are natural and obviously cant be helped. Im talking about men AND WOMEN (not me btw) who let out huge big man burps at random times and to me they seem forced. Personally I find this habit disgusting and as I cant find anything to support either way from sunnah....wanted help in clarifying.
I know in some ultures is polite to burp after eating...but while just doing other things?!? anyway.....hope that helps a little.
jazakAllah kheir for ur replies so far. specifically the hadiths

It's a natural bodily function, chill out it's fine.
Sometimes I find when I drink Coke I burp shortly afterwards, probably because Coke contains gases that my body has no use for, therfore it causes me to burp.

nothing to do about it.
quiet after burping would be no problem... so u can say alhamdulillah or astaghfirullah.. everything, but dont make it as a habit. if u do so, i'm afraid it's going to be bid'ah.

Ukht Rab'iya, your original question was 'is it Sunnah to burp?'
The Prophet Sallahu Alayhi Wassalam, although the best of creation was still human. He ate like us, and drank like us. That's what we must remember. As we learn from the Hadith, the Prophet Sallahu Alayhi Wassalam did not like burping because it was a result of over eating, the Prophet Sallahu Alayhi Wassalam said “Man fills no vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to have a few mouthfuls to give him the strength he needs. If he has to fill his stomach, then let him leave one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for air.” [Reported by at-Tirmidhee and Ibn Majah. Saheeh al-Jamee (5674)]
Is other people burping something that makes you feel uncomfortable, Rabi'ya?
If so, could you address it as your personal opinion, rather than having to look for evidence in Islamic teaching?
I tend to glare at people who burp loudly at the table ... that usually does the trick!
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker
[Psalm 95]
i personally find it disgusting....but when i glare at someone or say "thats disgusting" they make a joke out of it and do it even more(so childish) then they say "alhamdulillah" after and think its ok. i was told its sunnah and thats why they do it. but i just wanted clarification.
