The ruling on giving leftover food to birds and animals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it considered wastefulness if some food is left over and given to birds or animals?

Answer:
No, and why do you break the food? Why do you keep the excess? But if a little remains and you place it in a clean spot for the birds and animals, there is nothing wrong with that. However, throwing it into slaughterhouses or on the roads is not permissible. Yes.
