The second question of Fatwa No. ( 16330 )
Q 2: If the dinner is served before the time for prayer has arrived, and then the call to prayer is made while we are in the middle of eating, do we suffice with what we have eaten and return to it after the prayer, or do we eat what was served and then pray?
A 2: If the time for prayer arrives and people are having dinner, they complete their dinner and then pray after finishing it; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan ad-Darimi 2:94 . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
