Haram Money & business

Is wasting money and food haram?

Short answer

Yes. Allah forbids extravagance (7:31), and calls wasteful people the brothers of the devils (17:26-27). Spending is encouraged within need and means, and wasting food or money on what has no benefit is sinful.

Evidence

Quran

۞ يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُوا۟ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍۢ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ﴿٣١﴾

Enyi wanaadamu! Chukueni pambo lenu kwenye kila pahala wakati wa ibada, na kuleni, na kunyweni na wala msifanye ubadhirifu. Kwa hakika Yeye hapendi wanao fanya israfu.

وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا ﴿٢٦﴾

Na mpe aliye jamaa yako haki yake, na masikini, na msafiri; wala usitumie ovyo kwa fujo.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًۭا ﴿٢٧﴾

Hakika wabadhirifu ni ndugu wa Mashet'ani. Na Shet'ani ni mwenye kumkufuru Mola wake Mlezi.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
