The Ruling on Eating While Leaning and the Types of Sitting

The questioner:
I ask Allah of you, O Shaykh, is leaning on the hand considered an innovation, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
Yes, like this, or on a chair, or on a vehicle, or a wall,

Another questioner:
But the Sunnah, O Shaykh, is to sit upright in a state of rest.

The Shaykh:
Upright like this, upright whether sitting cross-legged or not.

Another questioner:
The right leg is not raised, unlike the sitting of the judge.

The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory; if one sits in a hunched position, there is no harm.

Another questioner:
From a cross-legged position, we get you.

The Shaykh:
Like this, there is no harm, or sitting on the left hand and raising the right leg.

Another questioner:
Who said that sitting cross-legged, O my Shaykh, makes a person eat more.

The Shaykh:
No, this is the statement of al-Khatib, there is no evidence for it, and it is not called leaning.

Another questioner:
What Allah willed.

The Shaykh:
No, there is no harm.

Another questioner:
Sitting on the chair as I am.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, there is no blame in that. It is the one.

Another questioner:
Sitting on his knees and raising his feet, may Allah bless you, raising his feet, his legs are raised.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, I have not heard of leaning, or extending the leg, there is no harm in that. Yes.

Another questioner:
What Allah willed, the Sunnah in the sitting of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh:
The matter is broad, like sitting on the ground or on one of your legs, you spread one leg and raise the other, or sit cross-legged, but do not lean, except for leaning, there is no harm, if Allah wills, you do not stand or anything. But standing is fine, but sitting is better, like drinking.
