Ruling on eating two dates in one mouthful
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Is it established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating two dates in one mouthful?
Answer:
If he is with people who are eating with him: he may not do so without their permission. If he is with companions eating with him, he does not eat without their permission. But if he is alone, he may eat two or three dates without objection. However, if he is with companions eating, he does not combine two dates, two pomegranates, or two fruits; that is, he seeks permission to combine them.
Q: If food is available?
The Shaykh: Even then, if he is with companions, he does not combine them without their permission.
Q: Is the permission of his companions necessary?
The Shaykh: Yes.
