Summary
Taking food away from a feast is permissible if the host or organiser gives permission. It is also permissible where local custom or other indications allow it. If there is no permission, or local custom does not allow it even for a small amount, it is forbidden. Guests are advised to ask permission first.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
