What is the ruling on eating until satiation, or slightly more, without incurring harm, for the purpose of increasing weight and building muscle for an athlete?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Eating beyond satiety is disliked, even if it is to increase one's capacity for worship. As we mentioned in no. 146306, it is permissible to eat until one is full, but eating beyond that is disliked unless it leads to harm.
