What is the criterion for the limit of extravagance in food?

The questioner : ... What is the criterion for the limit of extravagance in food?

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you in everything... The truth is, I say here that this is a known matter, but it must be placed in its proper context. I, for example, cannot give a limited answer to this, because... each of you has a share of blessing that differs from the other's, whether in abundance or scarcity. So if I say to this person, "Do such and such," but it may not be fitting for that person to do so, and so on. But the previous verse describing the servants of Allah is sufficient for you: However, the basis of the ruling here is that this money... goes to the ground. As for slaughtering specifically for the emir, especially if he is righteous, or for that shaykh, especially if he is a scholar, where you slaughter two animals and there is a remainder, either you give it to your neighbors or you donate it to the poor, no one denies this. But our discussion was that, as we see, sometimes cars are loaded with a terrible and very terrible amount. So wasting money, as you know, is mentioned in the hadith of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah in the two Sahihs, where he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade idle talk, excessive questioning, and wasting money... And I do not like to add to this speech, because this is the speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade idle talk, excessive questioning, and wasting money. The intent is wasting money. Otherwise, the matter is as it was said: "Extravagance is not from good," so some people reversed it and said, "There is no extravagance in good."
