The questioner : A young man works for a man from six in the morning until two in the afternoon, and from three after Asr until twelve. The man is very stingy, and because of his extreme stinginess, he does not provide him with anything, not even something to break his fast with, even though 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 in the amount and quantity of what he eats and prepares in his home?
