The ruling on a woman who prepares food for her husband who is breaking his fast during the day in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: In the period she mentioned in her letter, which is twenty years, he did not fast in Ramadan, and I used to cook food for him to eat, while I was fasting. Do I bear any sin for that?

Answer:
Yes; you bear a sin for that, and you must repent to Allah for it; because by cooking for him during the day, you assisted him in disobeying Allah. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
but do not cooperate in sin and aggressionوَلا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
[Al-Ma'idah: 2]. So cooking for him during the day in Ramadan, or serving him food, or smoking, or alcohol, is all disobedience, all of it is what is wrong, evil upon evil. We ask Allah for well-being. So you must not assist him in not fasting, not with food, not with drink, not with smoking if he smokes, and not with alcohol; because these are sins within sins—we ask Allah for well-being. Rather, you must advise them and refrain, and say: I do not assist you in this matter. He serves his own intention and bears the sin alone. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.

The presenter : We ask Allah for safety.
