Is it permissible to help the People of the Book break their fast in Ramadan, such as by preparing their food?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : The Shaykh said: Is it permissible to help the People of the Book break their fast in Ramadan and assist them in preparing their food?
Answer: It is permissible, provided that the Muslim’s work in providing assistance to these People of the Book or disbelievers does not contain anything that appears to diminish the religion of the Muslim who is helping them, or a greeting from him if this disbeliever is among those who are ... irreverent. In addition to this, it must not involve fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) such that the person desires the food, longs for it, and feels distressed in his fast.
