Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to put food leftovers in a sealed bag, and then place it in the trash can, given that no one takes it for sheep or similar animals?

Answer:
It is obligatory to show respect for the blessing and honor it. Whatever remains of the food that is still fit to be eaten should be placed in a pure location so that cats and birds may eat from it and benefit from it, and it should be kept away from filthy places. It is obligatory to place food leftovers in pure locations in order to respect them and so that whatever creatures Allah wills may benefit from them. Yes.
