Summary
Eating and drinking during tawaf does not invalidate it, including drinking zamzam water or eating dates. Some scholars regard it as makruh because it is seen as lacking proper manners. Refraining from eating and drinking during tawaf is therefore better and may earn reward.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
