regarding some of the rulings on eating during the iqamah of the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. He entered his house after the adhan... and it occurred to him to eat something before the iqamah, so...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : ...the food arrived, so does he eat?
The Shaykh : Does he crave it, or not?
The questioner : He definitely craves it.
The Shaykh : If he craves it, he eats.
The questioner : Do you mean the food arrived after the adhan or after the iqamah?
The Shaykh : If it arrives while he intends to pray, we say: eat, then pray. Sometimes a person... enters his house at the time of the adhan and says, "Bring the dinner," and eats, but he makes it a habit not to bring the dinner until after the adhan. This is what is forbidden. May Allah keep you safe.
