The ruling on providing food to workers during the daytime of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There were workers who were working in a house during Ramadan, and they asked the owner of the house to provide them with food during the daytime of Ramadan, so he provided it for them. Is he sinful for doing so? And what is the expiation for him? Are they Muslims or disbelievers?
Answer:
If they are Muslims, this is wrong and it is not permissible for him to do this. And if they are disbelievers, they do not display eating in the lands of the Muslims; if they go to their house or their residence, they eat there, but displaying it outside their house or outside their residence is not permissible. So he erred in this; he has to repent to Allah the Exalted. Yes.
