Peace be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
It is true that voluntary prayers can be performed while walking, and some conditions like complete prostration and bowing may be relaxed. However, it is essential to maintain other conditions, including not engaging in actions that invalidate the prayer. Therefore, you cannot eat, drink, or play while performing these prayers.
May you be successful in all good.
