The reward associated with breaking the fast of a fasting person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks about the reward associated with breaking the fast of a fasting person: Is it necessary to satisfy his hunger, or does the reward accrue merely from breaking his fast, even with a single date and a drink of water?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about this. They said, "O Messenger of Allah," when he said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever breaks the fast of a fasting person in it, he has a reward like his, without anything being deducted from the reward of the fasting person.من فطر فيه صائما فله مثل أجره من غير أن ينقص ذلك من أجر الصائم شيئا
, they said, "O Messenger of Allah"
Not all of us find what to break the fast of a fasting person with.لَيْسَ كُلُّنَا نَجِدُ مَا يُفَطِّرُ الصَّائِمَ
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 5:8
. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Allah gives this reward to whoever breaks the fast of a fasting person with a drink of water or a mouthful of milk.يعطي الله هذا الثواب لمن فطر صائما على شربة ماء أو مذقة لبن
. Breaking the fast of a fasting person carries a great reward, and if one adds a dinner to it, that is more complete and better. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
