Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Sami asks, saying: Is talking while eating a recommended practice (sunnah)?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says, may Allah forgive you, is speaking while eating a recommended practice?
The Shaykh:
I mean, the time of eating is permissible; it is not a recommended practice, it is permissible. If one speaks words that are free from harm, there is nothing wrong with it.
