Students Taking Food To Their Quarters

· 2 Rabiʻ II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am studying in a Madressa. Sometimes we have guests at the madressa and all the students are also given dawat. Alhamdulillah, I am well aware of the ibahat-tamleek mas’alah. However, my question is that if the food is left it will go to waste, in such a scenario will it be permissible for the students to take the food to their quarters?

Answer

The enquired Mas’ala is based on the discretion of Madrasah’s administration; consequently, if they allow, it will be permissible; otherwise, not. In this scenario, you are required to enquire from the administration if they allow it or not.
