Summary
The belief that sustenance is cut off because of delay in buying rice has no basis in Islam. If it only means that the food at home has run out, the expression is acceptable as a figure of speech. However, if one believes that the delay postpones the provision Allah has decreed, the belief is wrong and should be abandoned because it contradicts the Islamic concept of sustenance and divine decree.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kepercayaan sebegini tidak ada asalnya di dalam Islam.
