Drinking water with meals
Question
I know the sunnah of drinking water but would like to know the sunnah etiquettes of drinking water when partaking in a meal. Many say we should not drink whilst we are eating some say drink 1 hour before and after eating others say that it is sunnah to drink water in the middle of meal. Please can mufti saab please advise according to hadith?
Answer
There is no hadeeth to that effect.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
