*Series on The Etiquette of Eating*
*Episode 10*
Eating with three fingers; The Sunnah is to eat with three fingers; eating with more than three fingers is a sign of greed and bad manners according to the fuqahā, because there is no need for more than three in order to gather up a morsel. If it is necessary to use more than three, because the food is light and cannot be gathered in three fingers, then he may use the fourth or fifth.
This applies if a person is eating with his hand. But there is nothing wrong with using a spoon etc.
[Fath al-Baari, 9/578 ]
