The ruling on throwing date pits in the trash
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on throwing the pits, meaning date pits, in the trash? Because some of the common people are strict about this and consider the one who does it sinful, and they say that 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pick them up from the ground and throw them in the houses of the Ansar. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
I do not know this about 'Umar, but if there is benefit in them, if the pits are of benefit and are given to animals, then they should not be wasted; because they are among the benefits. But if there is no benefit in them, there is nothing wrong with throwing them in any place. Yes.
