What is the ruling on breaking the fast collectively in the mosque during Ramadan?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This question says: Some neighbors break their fast collectively in the mosque during Ramadan with the intention of maintaining contact and strengthening the bond between them. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
This is something the Salaf did not do; they did not intentionally gather to break their fast in Ramadan or at any other time. However, if the purpose of this is to provide a meal for the poor and needy, and they offer the meal in the mosque for the sake of the needy and the poor, then there is no harm.
But if they gather by themselves and say that there is virtue in this, then it is not from the practice of the Salaf. Yes. Unless they are in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat) in the mosque. If they are in i'tikaf in the mosque, there is no harm in them gathering to break their fast or for the 'Isha' prayer. There is no harm. But if they come to the mosque just to break their fast, and this is not for the purpose of feeding the poor, then this is not prescribed. Yes.
