Excess in wedding feasts.

Question:
What is your guidance regarding some of the manifestations in celebrations and feasts, such as increasing the food and drinks, and the clothing, without any need, and then neglecting them afterwards, leaving them exposed to being thrown into the trash? Is this considered ingratitude toward the blessings?

Answer:
Answer: This contradicts the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And eat and drink, but do not be excessive," and His saying: "And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor miserly, but hold a middle course between these." It is not permissible to waste blessings or to exceed what people need. It should be according to the need, and if there is a surplus, they should give it in charity to the needy. To my knowledge, there are associations for such feasts, or for the leftovers of feasts, that collect them and store them in refrigerators, and distribute them to the poor. One should contact them so that the blessing is not wasted and not spent excessively. One is excessive in it first, and then wastes it second.
