أحسن الله إليكم Regarding covering food, there are people who throw away all food/drink that is left uncovered especially after maghrib based on the hadith about this. Is this correct ? Isn’t this being very wasteful ? I know its not haram to eat /drink but whats the advice on this

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

Covering vessels at night is a Sunnah, and food left uncovered may still be eaten, as the scholars state, so it is not thrown away for that. Throwing it in the rubbish is avoided because wasting wealth is forbidden, and whoever is uneasy may put it out for animals or birds.
