Will a Muslim be rewarded for providing iftar for his relatives (family gathering) in Ramadan, even if they are not poor?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Feeding brothers and relatives carries a great reward, whether in or at other times, due to the general prophetic traditions that encourage providing food for a fasting person, and that whoever feeds a fasting person will receive a reward similar to theirs. Furthermore, this action strengthens the bonds of brotherhood and love among Muslims, especially relatives and neighbors, as exchanging gifts and visits are among the strongest causes of affection and solidifying love.
