Question:
And are these scattered grains in the roads and streets required to be removed because they cause dirt on the road?
Answer:
It is not just that they cause dirt, but there is also a desecration of the blessing, because these grains, whether wheat or rice, are scattered in the road. This is a blessing that it is not permissible to degrade or trample upon. Also, there are people who are hungry and in need of food. Why are these foods or grains not given to them? So there are two prohibitions here: the first prohibition is that it involves degrading the blessing, and the second prohibition is that it harms the passersby. Yes.
