Delaying the prayer for the sake of food

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Is it permissible to delay the congregational prayer and another prayer for the sake of food, given the need?

The Shaykh:
It is permissible.

The questioner:
Delaying the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer when food is served, with the intention of eating. And one of the professors says: If food is served, there is no crying (i.e., no objection), so I am the second [to ask].

The Shaykh:
No, the hadith is
When the 'Isha' prayer time arrives, start with it,إذا حضر العشاء فابدؤوا به،
This is the hadith. As for delaying the Friday prayer for the sake of food, I do not know of a hadith regarding that; this is only for the congregational prayer, not for the Friday prayer.
