Re: Can man and women

@TLK

Historically, Arabs used to eat from the same platter (many Arab families still do that). So when a family was sitting together, they sat around a big platter and ate from it. That is the reason we have the hadees that when you eat, eat from your side of the plate and eat from the food that is in front of you.

So answer to the OP’s question is that its not only permitted, its a sunnat.

That’s what happens in Saudi weddings too, 5 or 6 men to a platter of rice.
