The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged feeding a fasting person by saying: "Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like theirs, without diminishing the reward of the fasting person in the slightest." The meaning of "feeds a fasting person" is to provide them with food at the time of their breaking the fast, whether by giving them food or inviting them for Iftar.
