If supper was served before entering into the due time of Salah but then Adhan was proclaimed while having our food


559

Q 2: If dinner was served before the present Salah (Prayer) was due, but the Adhan (call to Prayer) was proclaimed while we were eating, should we stop eating and resume our meal after offering Salah? Or, should we first have our meal and then go to offer Salah?


A: If Salah becomes due while a group of people are having their dinner, they should first complete their meal and then offer Salah after finishing with it. This is supported by the Hadith that reads: If dinner is served and Salah becomes due, one should start with dinner. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
