Eating on Shabbat after Noon
Question
I want to pray on Shabbat morning in a synagogue where the prayer is long, and it turns out that I will eat the meal after noon. Is it allowed?
Answer
Shalom Rav and Chanukah Sameach
The opinion of most poskim is to forbid fasting on Shabbat until midday. Therefore, in such a case, one should drink before the prayer.
[There are communities that are lenient to fast until six hours from the time each person wakes up, and those who follow this have a source]
