Islam is a religion that prescribes a way of life that goes beyond the rituals. It provides a holistic guide
to human beings in almost every aspect of life in this world. However, the modernization and
economic growth have taken the leads in the society governance and therefore tarnished some of
the Muslim society’s perceptions on the holistic guidance of Islamic teachings. One of the
consequences was readily displayed through attitudes and inefficient waste management practice of
the majority of the Islamic country that lead to the environmental health problem. The paper
discusses the existing waste management practice and positive roles of true Islamic understanding
through the Qur’an and the Sunnah in terms of avoiding wasteful consumption and manners of
cleanliness to resolve global environmental health problem caused by poor waste management.

In this review context, the usage of Shariah into food standard meant applying Fiqh. Fiqh, which also
known as Shariah law contextually meant understanding or knowledge of Shariah ruling relating to
human conduct derived from their respective particular evidence. This definition explains the
differentiation between the term Shariah and Shariah law. In Fiqh, there are four classifications; Fiqh
al-Ibadat, Fiqh al-muamalat, Fiqh al-Munakahat and Fiqh al-Jinayat. As according to this paper
objective, Fiqh al-Ibadat will be the Fiqh classification referred here due to Fiqh al-Ibadat deal with
the rights owed to Allah the Almighty by the individual alone or by community as a whole. This
include anything that food related, since food is an essence of life

Although the major Islam textbooks prescribe FW as Haram, Muslims are not always aware of this
prescription and, therefore, waste a lot of food. Further, even if Islam followers associate Haram with
FW, they do not necessarily exhibit wasteless behavior. This is a result of the influence exerted by the
(1) type of religiosity, that is, intrinsic versus extrinsic; and (2) cultural, social, and habitual factors in
food consumption. Similar to Elshaer et al. (2021) who first established this phenomenon among
Muslims in Saudi Arabia, this current study has demonstrated that many Iraqi Muslims showcase
extrinsic religiosity. Extrinsic religiosity implies that the individuals do not ‘live the religion’ (Allport,
1950, p. 434) which results in wasteful consumer behavior.

Religious traditions have always normatively called upon its adherents to support the poor and the
needy, especially those in a state of hunger and starvation. Islam promotes this support in
philosophical, moral and legal terms. The philosophy of life in Islam establishes four minimum rights
for the living: food, clothing, water and shelter (Qur’an 20: 119-120). Morally, a believing Muslim,
according to one Prophetic tradition, is no longer a believer, if he sleeps and his neighbor is hungry.
In terms of Islamic legal rulings, rules of zakah and sadaqah have been detailed to leave no room for
avoiding the rights of the poor and the needy of basic needs and RIGHTS. Providing food comes on
the top of the list of these rights.

amounts of food are generated to meet the demand from an increasing and more affluent

In Islam, wasting food is strongly discouraged as it goes against the principles of moderation,
gratitude, and compassion towards those who are less fortunate. The Quran says:

"and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifun (those
who waste by extravagance)" (Quran 7:31)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also emphasized the importance of not wasting food.
He said:

"O people, eat what is on your plate, and do not waste it, for wasting food is a sin." (Sunan Ibn
Majah)

Furthermore, Islam encourages Muslims to share their food with others and to be mindful of the
needs of those who are less fortunate. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

"None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Sahih Bukhari)

Therefore, Muslims are encouraged to be moderate in their consumption, to be grateful for the
blessings of food and to show compassion towards those who are less fortunate by sharing their
food with them, rather than wasting it

Food wastage is a serious issue that has significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. In
Islam, wasting food is considered a sin and is strongly discouraged. The Quran and the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasize the importance of moderation, gratitude, and
compassion towards those who are less fortunate.

The Quranic verse "and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-
Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance)" (Quran 7:31) emphasizes the importance of avoiding
extravagance and wastage. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also instructed his followers to avoid
wasting food, stating "O people, eat what is on your plate, and do not waste it, for wasting food is a
sin" (Sunan Ibn Majah).

Islam encourages Muslims to share their food with others and to be mindful of the needs of those
who are less fortunate. The concept of brotherhood and compassion is central to Islamic teachings,
and Muslims are encouraged to love for their brothers what they love for themselves. This means
that Muslims should share their blessings with others, including their food, rather than wasting it.

The issue of food wastage has significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. Globally,
around one-third of all food produced is wasted, leading to the loss of valuable resources such as
land, water, and energy. Furthermore, food wastage exacerbates hunger and poverty, as the
resources that could have been used to produce food for those in need are wasted.

In conclusion, Islam strongly discourages food wastage and emphasizes the importance of
moderation, gratitude, and compassion towards those who are less fortunate. Muslims are
encouraged to share their food with others and to be mindful of the needs of the hungry and the
poor. This is not only a religious obligation but also a responsibility towards our society, economy,
and environment.
