Leaving food items and utensils uncovered
Question
Leaving things open at night shouldn't be consumed the next day. How authentic and what happens to the food that was left open? Should it just be wasted (thrown away) like sugar or milk etc? If the kids kept it open, should it be thrown.
Answer
Food articles and utensils should not be left open. But that does not mean that these articles cannot be consumed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
