The questioner:
The second question. Please, Honorable Shaykh, Honorable Shaykh. I ask Allah for forgiveness. I distribute water every Ramadan after breaking the fast. Does that mean, because if I distribute it in the afternoon, I bring water, juice, and so on, for the workers and such? Does that mean after they break their fast? I mean, I would like, in my mind, for them to break their fast with it, but I am unable to. This is the second question.
The Shaykh:
If you do not work, distribute it.
The questioner:
There is reward in it, meaning after they break their fast, meaning right after Maghrib, we live. Now, listen to the answer.
The Shaykh:
Or distributing the iftar to them is better. But if you give them something to eat or drink after breaking the fast, you have reward in that, if Allah wills. Yes.
