Eating cheese on its own

· 16 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is there any Islamic evidence that cheese can't be eaten alone. I heard for the first time that it must be eaten with bread or a biscuit not on its own.

Answer

This has no basis. It can be eaten alone or with other foods.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
