Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A guest of one of the brothers, one of the students of knowledge, was served a chicken dinner from one of the restaurants. He asked about the type of chicken, and was told it was Brazilian chicken. So he ordered the chicken to be taken and threw it in the trash, and was content with eating only the rice. What is your opinion on that?
Answer:
That he does not eat it is fine. It is something he eats or does not eat. But that he throws it in the trash is not permissible. This is a form of despising the blessing of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If he does not eat it, someone else will eat it, and he should not throw it in the trash. Yes.
