Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A young man works for a man from six in the morning until two in the afternoon, and from six after Asr until twelve, and the man is extremely stingy, and because of the severity of his stinginess, nothing is provided for him, not even anything to break his fast, and despite the fact that he works in a restaurant, this young man works in a restaurant, so if the young man takes from the lunch himself; does this young man dispense with what he takes by the amount and measure of the thing he eats and prepares at home, and may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : It is not clear, where does he eat?
The questioner : I mean this young man works in a place.
The Shaykh : Do not repeat your words, answer the question, may Allah guide you; where does he eat?
