Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question, saying: I inform you that I see some people who have an occasion and slaughter animals for their guests. There is fat and bread left over from this gathering and the animals slaughtered for them, and they dump it in the ground. Is there a sin on them for doing this?
Please inform us, may Allah guide you.
Answer:
This is something that happens among people: transferring the leftovers from feasts, such as meats and foods, to the trash, or putting them in boxes and then placing them in the trash. All of this is happening among people, and it involves a great danger.
It is obligatory, if one is able, to distribute this leftover meat and food to the poor and the needy in any place. If none are found, it should be placed in a clean place in the wilderness or desert, so that whoever Allah wills among animals or human beings may benefit from it. It must not be thrown with the trash and impurities; this is not permissible.
We have pointed this out more than once, and we have written in the newspapers more than once to draw attention to this. The municipalities should pay attention to this and ensure that the food and meat placed in boxes or in clean, dedicated barrels is transported to suitable locations to dry out, or to be eaten by livestock, or to dry out and be given to livestock owners so that they may benefit from it. Yes.
