Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If I say that this cook's cooking is poor, or that his handling of a certain food is not good, is this considered a fault in the food?
Answer:
You did not say that the food is poor, and that is not permissible. But you say his cooking is poor. You are not criticizing the food, but rather the cook's work. There is nothing wrong with that.
