eating with knives and spoons

[fi-rose rasheedi]

Asalemaoalikum

is it haram to eat with knives forks and spoons, when Allah subahnhu tala gave us hands ?

can you give reference us well.

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa’alaykum 'Assalaam,


I don’t think Allah the Almighty is so harsh on us that he would declare eating with knives and forks to be haraam. I think reward is in eating with your right hand because its Sunnah, but for something to be haraam, then it would definitely have to be proven from the Qur’an al-kareem or Sunnah.

You wouldn’t necessarily look for proof of eating with knives forks and spoons, when such things may not have been traditional at the time of the Beloved Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon Him), but what you do need to look for, is the merits of eating according to the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him).



Allah (Exalted is He) knows best …
