1. Eating without washing hands.
2. Eating without covering the head.
3. Eating in the dark.
4. Eating and drinking at the doorstep.
5. Eating near the deceased.

7. Delaying eating after the food is dished out [and served.]
8. Eating on a bed without placing a dining-mat.
9. Eating on a bed in such a manner that you sit on the side of the pillow and the food is placed where your feet would be, when you sleep on this bed.
10. Bitting the bread off with the teeth instead of breaking it with the hands (those who eat burgers should also keep this in mind).
11. Using broken ceramic or clay containers. (It is Makruh [reprehensible] to drink from the side of a cup that is broken. Do not use containers that are cracked as those cracks may house many germs and bacteria that could be very harmful for one�s health).

13. Washing hands in the container that was used for eating.
14. Swallowing the particles of food, that were stuck in the teeth and have been removed by flossing or toothpick etc.

16. Placing food in places where it would be considered disrespectful and can easily be trampled upon, like throwing on the streets. (Sunni Bahishti Zaiwar, pp. 595-601)
