Question
What does it mean when the Shulchan Aruch writes to bless with a clean mouth from saliva?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
I did not find this law in the Shulchan Aruch.
However, in the Eshel Avraham (Butchatch), this law is written, and it emphasizes that it refers only to someone who has accumulated a lot of saliva in the mouth to the extent that he cannot articulate the blessing properly. But ordinary saliva in the mouth is not a deficiency at all.
