Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: What is the validity of the statement of those who say that regarding the food and drink a person consumes, only two rulings apply to it, namely permissibility and prohibition, while dislike and recommendation do not apply in this matter?
Yes, in principle, they do not apply in this matter, but something may occur that makes it obligatory, such as a person in dire necessity, for whom it is obligatory to eat to remove his necessity.
The questioner : This is a response to those who say ... .
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : They say: The religion is obligatory, so we respond to them with this statement. Is this correct?
The Shaykh : No, because some scholars disliked eating from the onion and garlic, did you understand? And they did not say it was forbidden, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated that it is not forbidden.
