Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I made an oath, so is it permissible for me to feed the poor rice that I have not cooked and put meat on it?
Answer:
This is the default. The default is that you give them uncooked food, and they dispose of it as they wish: they eat it, sell it, or give it to someone else; they do with it what they want. This is the default. It is also permissible to give them cooked food; there is nothing wrong with that. But the default is to give them uncooked food for them to dispose of. And if you add meat to it, that is more complete and better. Yes.
