does Islam allow one to offer food and drinks to Muslim visitors/relatives who visits our place of residence but does not fast
Question
In the month of Ramadhan (during the period of fasting), does Islam allow one to offer food and drinks to Muslim visitors/relatives who visits our place of residence but does not fast for no obvious reason.
Answer
If there is no reason for the visitors not to fast, for example, they are not ill or they are not travelers, and they were required to fast, then it is not permissible to offer them food or drinks during fasting time as that will be assisting in sin.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
