Overeating can be detrimental to one's health in a variety of ways : there's more extreme cases, such as binge eating disorder and bulimia , but also simply eating too much and becoming obese results in health problems. As such, it stands to reason that, at some point, overeating would be considered haram. **Question**: Is there a clear point where overeating becomes haram? A question Why is smoking tobacco haraam? is answered quoting the Qur'an *do not kill yourselves* 4:29 , and this logic seems to be applicable here.
