It is allowed to throw foods that are too bad to eat in garbage? im afraid of allah (azwajal) of doing this kind of action

[MazharShafiq]

The first thing is that it should not be eaten as much as possible, and if it is left, give it to someone in the neighborhood so that the food is not bad, and if it gets worse, do not throw it in the temples. Put it on to side area so that eat it any animal etc -

But also animals may get harm from poison?

I think hiding it on the ground could do. We should be careful. We might kill small beings due to the poison. If we are sure that that poison won't harm those beings, and if it's rotten, some animals can eat them. Maybe it's good for the soil.

Asalaamualaykum-

Your question heading states "Poisoned food" but in your question you used the term "Too bad to eat"

A)

The ruling will depend on the definition you understand here. Normally poisoned food leads to fatality or grievous bodily harm not only to one consuming it but should it be put in the ground near other plants there is a possibility depending on the species - it can harm other plants.

So - if food is poisoned to the degree that it can harm both one consuming it and/or plants, then the best action would be to dispose of it in the bin which eventually ends up in a land fill in a designated area.

B)

If the food looks or smells bad and is not fit for human consumption then in general understanding it would be fitting to put it out for animals to eat. Most animals have a more robust digestive system as compared to humans.

C)

If are going by just the expiry date on the package then in most cases it has been found that the manufacturing company designates the very earliest date and might not be harmful at all. Using the expiry date as a measure is entirely your discretion, and should you want to resort to B) above thats fine, or you can attempt to eat it.

Are you talking about food that is stale and rotten or about food that is poised because it came in contact with a poison???

Thats why i gave him all the permutations taking both in account.
