Q: The hadith regarding a Hafiz who will intercede on behalf of 10 people of his family...
The hadith mentions ''who were destined for Jahannum''.
Recently, a certain Apa conducting a Tafseer class had mentioned that this virtue is only for people who are already in Jannah (meaning the Hafiz can intercede on their behalf) and not for those who are in Jahannum (meaning the Hafiz won't be able to intercede on their behalf and they will remain in Jahannum).
Is this correct?

Q: I received a message wherein the following Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was mentioned:
Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “If food is served and the Iqaamah for salaah is given, then start with the food.”
The question that I wish to ask is that if one is at home and partaking of meals or one is at a function (e.g. waleemah or a braai etc.) and the food is being served, and the jamaat salaah in the musjid is about to commence, then what should a person do? Should one give preference to partaking of the food or should one attend the jamaat salaah in the musjid, as we have understood from this hadith that one should give preference to the food?
