ALMIGHTY ALLAH SAYS EAT AND DRINK BUT WASTE NOT BY EXTRAVAGANCE ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ The Muslim should avoid exaggeration in expenditure. He should be moderate and should not spoil his money. Allah says: Eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allâh) likes not Al-Musrifûn (those who waste by extravagance). (Al-Araf 7:31) Allah also says: And those, who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way) between those (extremes). (Al-Furqan 25:67) On the other hand, it is not obligatory to eat everything that is on the plate. Rather, one should eat little to keep healthy. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: The child of Adam has not filled any receptacle worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the child of Adam to eat small bits of food that keep him healthy. Now if he wants to eat much any way, he should give a third to the food, a third to the drink and a third (of his stomach) to let him breathe comfortably.(Ahmad) If the person eats the food and little of it remains then he should eat that. Anas said: The prophet ordered us not to leave anything in the plate and he said: You do not know in which portion of your food Allah has put the Barakah (Blessing). (Muslim) Allah knows best.
