It
was narrated that Zayd ibn Khaalid al-Juhani said: The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever gives iftaar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his,
without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.”
(Narrated by
al-Tirmidhi, 807; Ibn Maajah, 1746. Classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibaan, 8/216 and
by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6415)
Shaykh
al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] said:
What is meant by
giving him iftaar is giving him enough to satisfy him.
(Al-Ikhtiyaaraat,
p. 194)
