Breaking Crust of Bread


* Breaking Crust of Bread *

Hazrat Maulana Amjad Ali Azmi رحمتہ اللہ علیہ states that:
It is Israf to leave the outer crust [harder part] and only eat the soft part from the centre of the bread. However, if the crust (sides or corners of the bread) is not properly cooked, and is injurious to one’s health one can break it off and leave it without eating. Similarly, it is also permissible to leave it when it is likely that others will eat it and it will not go to waste. The same ruling will be applied if one wishes to eat only the fluffier and softer part of the bread leaving the rest. 

(Bahar-e-Shariat, pp. 18, 19, part. 16)
