Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The imam of a mosque placed coffee and dates at the back of the mosque on the morning of Eid al-Fitr. After finishing the Fajr prayer, he asked the ma'mum (those praying behind him) not to leave his mosque until they had drunk the coffee and eaten the dates. Applying the questioner's scenario.
The Shaykh:
What is prescribed is this: when going to the Eid prayer, what is reasonable is the Fajr prayer. When going to the Eid prayer, this is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And the coffee, to increase what they have, is not a Sunnah. Yes.
