halacha - Must chewing gum be removed before saying a bracha?


Given that it's preferable to have an empty mouth when saying a bracha must I remove chewing gum from my mouth before saying a bracha - for example, for a glass of water, or anything else for that matter - and if so does it make a difference if taking it out would mean I wouldn't want to continue chewing it after (which would result in wasting food)?



Answer




Orach Chaim 172:2 - you should remove the candy from your mouth and make a Bracha. If it is chewed and unappetizing to remove, you may push it to the side of your mouth and make a Bracha.
