Question

Is there any Islamic evidence that cheese can't be eaten alone. I heard for the first time that it must be eaten with bread or a biscuit not on its own.

Answer

This has no basis. It can be eaten alone or with other foods.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
