The ruling on giving student meals to the poor

Question:
Abd al-Rahman from Jazan, please, Abd al-Rahman. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. If you please, I have two questions. And upon you be peace. Please, the first question, Shaykh: The Ministry of Education provides meals for the students, but the students do not take them. Is it permissible to distribute them to the poor near the school or to the cleaning workers? And is it permissible for the teachers to eat from them, knowing that these meals have an expiration date and will end in a few days?

Answer:
By Allah, this is up to the school principal and the person responsible for the school. He distributes them according to what is in the public interest. He gives them to the poor so they are not left to go to waste. He also looks into their future distribution, because they are provided according to need, so there should be no excess beyond the need. Yes.
