Legally? No, not usually. Morally? I'd say so, under those specific circumstances.
Why?

Why?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
Not when they could help others with the opposite problem.
Are they obligated to give away the things they own?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
How isn't that direct?
Because not living in poverty doesn't directly cause the misfortune of someone else. Someone being so far from trouble that they have the luxury to waste food is a good thing.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
Because their joy doesn’t matter more than others’ lives.
They're not directly responsible for the harm of others. It'd be different if they were stealing food or something.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
It's not as important as necessity. But to find joy from that and only that would be a problem.

Why?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
It's not a matter of who decides, it's a matter of how much can reasonably be used. Hoarding food you can't possibly hope to eat until it goes bad while others starve, just as an example. Holding onto resources greedily that you won't use is why so many suffer.
What if having that much is part of what brings them joy? Taking that away would rob them of that.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
Sure, it does go both ways.
But who gets to decide what beings have too much or too little?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
Have you seen how much stuff most civilized worlds just waste?
I've also seen how even "uncivilized" worlds have found the most creative ways to use every single resource.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
But there isn’t. Yet there is enough.
How do you know that, though?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>
No, because some horde so much more than they could ever use.
If there was more, that wouldn't be a problem.
