«اِللِّي يْلَاقِى مِنْ يِطْبُخْ لُهْ لِيهْ يِحْرَقْ صَوَابْعُهْ؟!»

The saying criticizes someone who assumes a hazardous or burdensome task personally even though another person is already available to take care of it. It presents that choice as needless exposure to harm rather than sensible effort.

It is used to fault avoidable self-inflicted trouble when the practical burden has already been covered. The image of burned fingers stresses the folly of entering a potentially harmful situation without a necessity to do so.

Say this to admonish a person who takes on a potentially harmful or difficult task despite having someone else able to handle it. It fits situations where the person’s own involvement adds an avoidable risk or burden.
