Salam,

Is it haram to eat more than your fill in all the madhabs?

Jazakallah.

A scholar can answer your question, insha'Allah, but I thought I would share this since it is related to the topic at hand:

Fridge Magnets

The hadith provided on the website might be of some help.

I have heard that Its narrated by Aisha that the first bidah was the bidah of overeating but as of yet I haven't been able to substantiate this hadith.

Haram is a strong word. It is discouragable to eat extra. It is a source of many ill affects. Many ahadith which come in prohibitions are not necessarily for hurmah (complete prohibition) rather for Tarheeb (caution) from that act.

Salam,

Shaykh Nuh said in one of his darses that the scholars of all the 4 Sunni madhabs have said that it is haram to eat more than your fill. He went on to say that they didn't say that it's makruh or bad adab, but they said that it's haram...
