The Ruling on Moaning in Prayer

Question
Does speaking during prayer invalidate it, such as when the worshipper moans if they are in pain?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: Speaking during prayer invalidates it, but if a sick person makes a sound due to pain and cannot refrain from it, it does not invalidate the prayer. And God knows best.
