Etiquette of Salah

The gaze should be fixed on the place of Sajdah during Qiyaam, on the feet during Ruku, on the nose during Sajdah , on the lap during Qa’dah and on the shoulders during Salaam. When one has an urge to  yawn during Salaah, he should stifle  it as much as possible. When one has an urge to cough during Salaah one should try as much as possible to suppress it.
