Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: We have a custom of letting our drivers and servants eat from our food after we are done with it. Is this practice correct?
Answer:
It is better that you prepare food specifically for them to eat. If they are present with you when you eat, they should eat with you. However, if they are absent or busy, there is no harm in you arranging food for them after you have finished eating. Yes.
