The Shaykh : And Allah the Exalted has prescribed at the end of this month
The student: ...
The Shaykh : that before going out to the prayer, one should eat an odd number of dates, three, five, or seven, as one desires. In the festival of sacrifice, one does not eat before the prayer; he leaves off eating until he returns from the prayer, slaughters his sacrificial animal, and eats from it. Good.
