Baseless Report About Times of Eating and Drinking Being ‘Awrah
Question

                “Eating and drinking are two ‘awrahs (times of exposure/weakness) , so cover them.”  Is this a saheeh hadeeth (authentic narration)?
Praise be to Allah.
    After 
    looking for this hadeeth in the books of Sunnah (prophetic traditions), we 
    could not find any basis for it. This hadeeth was not even mentioned by the 
    scholars who compiled collections of weak and fabricated hadeeths. Perhaps 
    it is one of the false hadeeths that were fabricated in recent times. 

    The 
    meaning indicated by the hadeeth has no basis in the Sunnah of the Prophet 
    (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Eating and drinking are not 
    among the ‘awrahs which must be covered. 

    The 
    Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to eat with his 
    Companions, so how can eating and drinking be ‘awrah?

    And Allah 
    knows best.
