The ruling on leaning while eating

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith regarding the prohibition of leaning?

Answer:
There is no prohibition in it; rather, he is saying:
I do not eat while reclining.لا آكل متكئًا
, informing that he does not eat while leaning, so leaving it is better.
Q: If one eats while leaning, does he sin?
The Shaykh: No, he does not sin, but leaving it is better; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I do not eat while reclining.لا آكل متكئًا
, he did not say: "Do not eat," he said: "I do not eat..." This indicates that this is the best, and that the Sunnah is to follow him in this, (peace and blessings be upon him).
