Is it permissible to give a guest discounted university meal tickets?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are students in the university dormitory, and the university issues us lunch and dinner tickets at a value of two riyals, meaning at a discount. So, if a guest comes to us, are we allowed to give him some of these discounted tickets? We know that we cannot cook food for him, and it is difficult for us to take him to a restaurant since we are in al-Dar'iyyah. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
You must adhere to the instructions you have, and you must not lie. You must adhere to the instructions you have. If you have a guest, you can ask the person in charge for permission, or buy for him from what is available according to the university or school system, or something similar, in accordance with the regulations and the instructions you have. Do not deviate from them, lest you wrong others or cheat. If this is not the way, then praise be to Allah, there are other establishments where you can host him. Yes.
