How does a Muslim earn the reward for feeding a fasting person, is it sufficient to offer a date or a sip of water for that, and is the intention of the one who brings the dates for breaking the fast of fasting people taken into account?

Breaking the fast of a fasting person is achieved by the least amount that breaks the fast, such as dates or a sip of water, and it is hoped that whoever gives dates will receive the reward for breaking the fast. The intention is a condition for attaining the reward, and it must precede the action. As for one who prepares food and goes to trouble for it, he receives the reward for feeding people, and he may also receive the reward for breaking the fast of a fasting person according to those who believe that breaking the fast means satisfying them. The reward may be shared between the one who gave dates and the one who provided the rest of the iftar meal.
