Why do we not generalize the feeding and say that it is permissible to feed the disbeliever and the believer in the expiation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says, why do we not generalize the feeding and say that it is permissible to feed the disbeliever and the believer, when the one who said feeding ten poor people only.

The questioner : ... (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Do not accompany except a believer, and do not serve your food except to one with Taqwa. لا تصاحب إلا مؤمنا ولا يأكل طعامك إلا تقي
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2395Sahih (Darussalam)
.

The Shaykh : Yes, except a pious person, yes, okay, is there anything else? Yes?

The questioner : The saying ...
Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate. في كل كبد رطبة أجر
Sahih al-Bukhari 2363
... .

The Shaykh : Okay, this supports the generality, okay,
Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy إنما الصدقات للفقراء والمساكين
[At-Tawbah 9:60]
Is the disbeliever given from it?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : No.

The Shaykh : No, it is only given if he is one whose heart is being reconciled. Therefore, the scholars analogized the feeding to zakah and said that the disbelievers are not eligible. The issue contains some reflection because it could be said that even in zakah, the disbeliever is given if he is not a warrior. Yes, that is correct.

The questioner : ... or he repeats the feeding.

The Shaykh : He repeats the feeding. Yes.
Yes?
