Question

Is standing and eating fruit a Sunnah?

I know that standing and drinking Zamzam is a Sunnah... However it was mentioned to me by someone that it's sunaah to stand and eat fruit and that it is the only thing that's permissible to stand and eat. Can mufti Saheb please advise.

Answer

Don't say that it is sunnat. If someone does it because of some circumstance then you will not say that it is wrong. It is like how a person sucks a sweet etc. whilst walking. We will not say that it is wrong. Fruit over here will refer to a small fruit like a date.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
