The ruling on eating before the festival prayer for the one who offers a sacrifice and others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) on the day of 'Id al-Adha for the one who offers a sacrifice to eat from the meat of the sacrifice. So what does the one who does not offer a sacrifice do? Does he fast after the dawn prayer and then eat fruits, or what?
Answer:
[It is] 'Id al-Fitr. So the one who does not want to offer a sacrifice has the choice: if he wishes, he eats before the prayer, and if he wishes, he eats after the prayer; he has the choice. This is only for the one who wants to offer a sacrifice; it is better for him to delay eating until he slaughters his sacrifice and eats from it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Yes.
