Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is saying the name of Allah at the beginning of eating obligatory or recommended?
The Shaykh:
It is recommended, as one of the etiquettes. Yes.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you: If one forgets to say the name of Allah at the beginning of eating, is it prescribed for him to say, when he remembers, "In the name of Allah, at its beginning and its end"?
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is what is required. He says the name and says "In the name of Allah" at its beginning and its end. Yes.
