The ruling on considering eating zubd and dabba' as an act of devotion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you and grant you good. The sender has indicated his name with the letters Nun and Zay. He has two questions. In the first, he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left eating zubd but did not forbid it, and he ate dabba'. Is it an act of devotion for me to leave this and eat that, or not?
The Shaykh:
This is not an act of devotion; rather, it is a matter of custom. This is a matter of custom. Eating is a matter of custom. If you wish to eat, eat, and it is permissible. If you wish not to eat, do not eat. These are ordinary matters, not matters of worship. Yes.
The questioner:
However, following the Messenger of Allah in this has a merit.
The Shaykh:
This is not a matter of legislation; it is not a matter of legislation. Rather, it is a matter of custom.
The questioner:
That is, one looks at what his soul is accustomed to, and if he desires it, he eats it, or he leaves it.
The Shaykh:
One looks at what is suitable for him and what his soul desires, and he eats from it. As for eating and saying, "I am following the Messenger" or "this is a Sunnah," this is not a matter of legislation.
