Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is our custom to prepare and serve food by placing food for each person in their own plate. Is this contrary to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is this contrary to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
No, it is not contrary, but it is better that they gather around one plate. It is permissible for them to separate, with each person having their own plate; there is no harm in that.
