Berbuka puasa di rumah orang bukan islam
Is it permissible to break one's fast at the home of a non-Muslim?
Short answer
Breaking one's fast at a non-Muslim's home is permissible. The ruling rests on analogy, as no scriptural text prohibits it, so it falls under the principle that the default ruling on things is permissibility until evidence shows otherwise.

Summary
Breaking one's fast at a non-Muslim's home is permissible. The ruling rests on analogy, as no scriptural text prohibits it, so it falls under the principle that the default ruling on things is permissibility until evidence shows otherwise. The condition is that the food served must be halal and clean. Differences of religion do not prevent doing good to fellow human beings and to non-Muslim family members and relatives on humanitarian grounds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, hukum berbuka puasa di rumah orang bukan Islam adalah harus dengan syarat jamuan itu halal dan suci.
