Ihsan Allahu Ilaykum Ustadh, with regard to the hadiths about eating together being a means of obtaining blessings, does this mean for people to eat together from the same plate, or to gather together to eat (each having his own plate), or is both counted as eating together? Jazak Allahu Khayran!

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan
All is allowed, Allah said (the meaning of which): > "No sin on you whether you eat together or apart." (Surah An-Nur, 24:61 – excerpt)
