Shaykh, I heard a man in a mosque speaking, and he was told that it is not permissible for a man to say Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim when eating or drinking, but rather he should suffice with saying Bismillah.

There is no harm in saying Bismillah only, or saying Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, and the latter is more complete and better. Yes?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
