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?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Eating beyond satiety is disliked, even if it is to increase one's capacity for worship. As we mentioned in Fatwa no. 146306, it is permissible to eat until one is full, but eating beyond that is disliked unless it leads to harm.
