The reward for breaking the fast of fasting people with dates and water, without providing dinner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one receive the reward for breaking the fast of fasting people if one provides them with dates and water, or is it necessary to also provide them with dinner, as is done in some mosques during Ramadan?

Answer:
Breaking the fast of a fasting person with a mouthful of milk or a date, as mentioned in the hadith. They said, “O Messenger of Allah, not all of us can do what you said.” He said, “Whoever breaks the fast of a fasting person, then
he will have a reward like his, without that detracting from theله مثل أجره من غير أن ينقص من أجر
Sunan Ibn Majah 2759Sahih (Darussalam)
the fasting person.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, not all of us find what to break the fast of a fasting person with.” He said, “Allah grants this reward to whoever breaks the fast of a fasting person with a date or a mouthful of milk.” And if dinner is provided along with the breaking of the fast, that is better and more complete.
