Is it permissible to eat with knives and forks?

Question

Is it permissible to eat with knives and forks?

Answer

Eating with a knife and fork is not permissible. This is the style of the western kuffaar. The Sunnah way is to eat with the right hand after washing both hands, and sitting on the ground, not at tables and on chairs when eating.
