إذا دُعي أحدكم فليجب ، فإن كان صائماً فليصل وإن كان مفطراً فليطعم ومعنى فليصل أي فليدع
Idha du'iya ahadukum fa-l-yajib, fa-in kana sa'iman fa-l-yusalli, wa in kana mutfiratan fa-l-yut'im. Wa ma'na fa-l-yusalli ay fa-l-yad'u.
When one of you is invited, let him respond; if he is fasting, let him supplicate, and if he is not fasting, let him eat — meaning 'let him supplicate' is 'let him make supplications'.
