Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the present time of prosperity and the abundance of dates, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, even if you are with someone, do not do it. From another perspective, we might say it is prohibited. From another perspective, it indicates greed and gluttony. Yes, this is why people talk about such things. By Allah, one person came to us when we had a guest, and he started eating dates, two at a time and three at a time. Yes, and some people say he eats dates with the pits, meaning the seeds. So, this also contains a type of greed. A person might be the talk of the people, and everything might compromise his dignity or constitute aggression against others. A person should avoid this. Yes.
