Continuation of the answer: Is it authentic that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating while leaning?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Ah, then we return to the matter of eating while leaning. I am not saying now...
The student: Our Shaykh, you would like to break your fast now because it is time to break the fast...

The Shaykh: No, let us go out like this for a moment to see the sun. Now, there are buildings here. There is only a little left for us...

The Shaykh: Regarding eating while leaning, I do not know. I do not remember if you took from our brother 'Umar al-Ashqar, if you caught up with him and understood from him that he forbade it with an explicit prohibition, or mentioned an explicit prohibition from the Messenger that he forbade eating while leaning, or if you understood it from him. It does not concern us now whether it was this or that. So I say that if he or anyone else said that the Messenger forbade eating while leaning, he would be mistaken, because the wording of the hadith may lead some to think it is a prohibition, but it is not a prohibition. Is that clear? Is that clear up to here?

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh: But it will be asked, what is the text that may mislead? So I say: He (peace be upon him) said:
I do not eat while leaning. إنِّي لا آكل متَّكئًا
So let us break our fast, now let us see.
The student : Our Shaykh...
Another student: Is there dates or water?
Another student: ... the prayer.
The student: No, that is enough, that is enough.
Another student: This will be the end of the timing.
The student: The timing, glory be to Allah.
Another student: The problem is we are going to the head... and I am afraid... we will never reach your house.

The Shaykh: I wanted Nabil to be present.
The student: He will listen to the recording, if Allah wills.
