Question

Hello, I wanted to know if it is permissible to remove the rind from a watermelon when it is served on the table as a triangular piece with the rind at the bottom. Or in such a case, must one take the watermelon from the rind and not the rind from the watermelon? Thank you!!

Answer

Hello and blessings

It is permissible to peel.

This is a manner of eating, not a manner of selection.
