Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I work in the border guard in a sandy area, and some food remains with us, and there is no place
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
for the food, and there is no place to store it in from being disrespected, so I burn it. Is this action of mine permissible?
The Shaykh:
If no one benefits from it, if there are no animals, insects, or birds that eat it, put it in a place and let them eat it.
