Question:
If a person is in the presence of food he desires, and the mosque of his neighborhood has called for the prayer, should he eat, or should he attend the prayer?
Answer:
Let him eat as much as pleases him, then go to the rest of the morning, and not go with his soul attached to the food; because it distracts him from it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So he eats from it the amount that achieves the purpose and cuts off his desire for food.

إذا حضر العشاء فابدأوا به،There is no disagreement regarding the presence of food,
لا خلاف حضرة طعام،
