Is it permissible to continue distributing sweets during the daytime in Ramadan to non-Muslims?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah commanded cooperation in righteousness and piety and forbade sin and aggression. Breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan without a valid excuse is a major sin, and disbelievers are addressed by the branches of Islamic law. Therefore, it is not permissible to distribute food or drink to visitors during the day in Ramadan if it is known that they will consume it. Instead, one can distribute material gifts, perfumes, or books, or distribute them at night.
