If a guest stays with a group of people and they do not host him, does he have the right to take from their food without their knowledge?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And likewise the guest: a man stayed with a group of people as their guest, and they designated him as their guest, so he found some of their food, took it, and satisfied his hunger. Yes.

Answer : Is it permissible or not? It is permissible, because the reason is apparent, for he is entitled to this food, for example, by virtue of the hospitality.
