**דיני זמן קביעות לסעודה. ובו סעיף אחד:**
כשיגיע שעה רביעית יקבע סעודתו ואם הוא תלמיד חכם ועוסק בלימודו ימתין עד שעה ששית ולא יאחר יותר דהוי כזורק אבן לחמת אם לא טעם מידי בצפרא:

**Mishna Berura Yomi:**
**Laws of When To Establish One's Meal. Containing 1 Se'if:**
When the fourth hour [of the day] arrives, one should establish his meal. And if he is a Torah scholar and he is occupied with his learning, he should wait until the sixth hour, but he should not delay more than that for it is considered like throwing a stone into a [wine] pouch if he did not eat anything that morning.
