One should not put a loaf of bread into the soup or stew, except the piece, which
you will eat. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “Honor the bread,
Allah, the High, the Exalted has sent it from the Blessings of Heaven.” One
should not wipe his hands with the bread, nor put pieces of rejected food back
into the tray, but one should collect the scraps into one place so that no one
would mistakenly eat them. One should not drink while eating unless a piece of
food becomes stuck in the throat as it is not medically beneficial to drink while
eating.
As for drinking, the manner for it is to take the cup and say: „In the Name of
Allah,” and one should suck the water and not gulp it. The Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him, said: “Sip the water and do not gulp it, indeed the pain of the
liver is caused by gulping.‟ One should not drink standing or reclining.
One should watch the bottom of the cup in case it drips on him, and should look
into the cup before drinking from it, and one should not breathe into the cup nor
expel wind into it, but should remove it from his mouth saying “All Praise to
Allah,” and when returning it to his mouth he should say “In the Name of Allah.”
