Don't let food spoil
because so many people in the city and in the countryside have few or nothing left to eat because of poverty.
You that are in better situation
should always make sure that your food is not wasted. If it is spoiled or wasted, it would have been better if it was given to the poor. Spoiled food is for the animals, like the pigs, cats and dogs. How fortunate are these animals when you have so much wasted food that no poor person is able to take in or he will get very sick unless he's one of those scavengers who are used to eating leftovers thrown in garbage dumps around. But for goodness sake, don't give anyone the chance to eat your leftovers thrown in the garbage because they are already contaminated and poor and desperate people will be forced to eat them just to survive. Bear in mind all the time that contaminated foods are for the animals only and not for humans to consume.
Doing groceries
should be in proportion to what you can consume in a given time and don't let anything rot in the fridge and be thrown away. If you have bought so much food and you think they will just spoil because you can't consume them before they expire, then give them to the poor right away. Don't waste time. You will be adored and loved for doing things like that and the Most High will reward you generously. But if you just let the food spoil even though it's easy for you to give them to the hungry, then you will be punished in time. You will be poor yourself and you will be hungry and thirsty. Then you will come to realize that those things happen because you let the food spoil thinking that you have the money to buy anytime you want. You might be rich today with abundant foods all over your table but you can be poor when you wake up tomorrow. God can make things happen when you deserve them at a time when you least expect them. So as a matter of conscience, prevent foods from spoilage and consume them before they rot or expire. Just think about what it's like to be hungry and thirsty and to be needing food all throughout the day.
