Is it permitted to use bread as a spoon (to scoop porridge or dip food)?
Synopsis
Using bread as a spoon to eat porridge is permitted, provided one eats the used bread afterward. The meticulous practice is to eat a small piece of the bread with each spoonful so it does not appear that the bread is being used merely as a utensil.
