As for what follows:
Your Eminence, what do you say about the issue of leaning while eating? I ask for clarification, and may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Leaning

The questioner : While eating

The Shaykh : There is a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said: The term "leaning" in this hadith has been interpreted in two ways. The first, which is the most common among the commentators and scholars of the language of the hadith, such as Ibn al-Athir and others, is "sitting cross-legged" (turu'b), meaning the eater sits with his legs crossed. This is the first opinion. The second opinion is that "leaning" means resting on the right or left hand, as mentioned in a hadith in the two Sahihs from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized false testimony and the encroachment on rights that follows it by leaning and then sitting, which is an indication of his concern regarding the magnitude of this major sin. The meaning that I am reassured by and that brings peace to my heart is this second meaning, because leaning while eating is a trait of the arrogant and haughty, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was, as you know, the master of the humble. Therefore, he used to say: So, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ate according to the rule he established for his Ummah, as in his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would only sit in the manner of the humble. As for leaning while eating, it is the manner of the arrogant. Whether the stronger opinion is this interpretation of "leaning" or that one, we should note that his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): does not mean that eating in this posture is forbidden, but rather that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) abstained from eating in this manner, whether sitting cross-legged or leaning on his right or left hand. The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he used to eat on the ground, not sitting cross-legged and not leaning, but rather sitting on his heels or extending one leg and sitting on the other. This is what we know of his way (peace and blessings be upon him) in his eating, in his actions and his words.
Yes.
