Summary
The food may be taken and is lawful to eat if the management has given permission. The reason given is the concern over wastage and the food spoiling. The food must also come from a halal source.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada halangan untuk mengambil makanan tersebut dan halal dimakan jika pihak pengurusan telah memberi kebenaran, kerana dikhuatiri membazir dan makanan menjadi rosak.
