    Sunnats and Aadaab of Drinking – Part 3

    1. If a drink is being shared by a few people, then after the first person drinks, he should pass the drink to the one who is on his right.

    Hazrat Anas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that on one occasion, some milk that was mixed with a little water (to cool the milk) was presented to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). At that time, a Bedouin was seated on the right side of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), while Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was seated on the left side of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) drank, he passed the utensil to the Bedouin to drink and said, “The one on the right should be given first, and thereafter the one on his right.”

    1. When drinking, do not gulp all the contents at once, as this may harm your body. Instead, you should drink in three sips. If the contents are so little that one may drink it in one or two sips, then it is permissible to drink in less than three sips.

    DRINKING

    There are many sunnats and aadaab (etiquettes) in regard to drinking. Some sunnats and aadaab pertain to the various duas which have been prescribed to be recited before, during and after drinking. Other sunnats and aadaab relate to the manner in which a person should drink.

    Apart from this, there are sunnats and aadaab that teach a person the amount of liquid that he should drink at one time in order for him to avoid damaging his health. Hence, drinking in the correct manner is essential, as this will enable one to maintain good health which will assist him in the worship of Allah Ta‘ala.
