Why should you spend your money on iftaar funds at the Masjid?
Why should you invite guests over for iftaar?
The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said,
"Whoever provides food for breaking of the fast of a fasting person receives the reward of the fasting person, without the reward of the fasting person being reduced in any way."
[at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]
The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also said,
“Save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (to be given in charity). And if you do not find that, then with a good pleasant word.”
[Al-Bukhari]
Note: This does not remove the obligation of fasting if one is capable of doing so, it is a means of increasing the scale of good deeds of an individual through the mercy of Allah.
