Summary
Inviting non-Muslims to an iftar is permissible in Islam according to this irsyad. Such a gathering can strengthen neighbourly ties regardless of religion or race. The etiquette and good values of the occasion must be upheld, the venue and attire must be suitable, and provocation or any ill agenda must be avoided. Organisers may also prioritise the poor and orphans, whether Muslim or non-Muslim.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, kami cenderung berpandangan hukum menjemput non-Muslim berbuka puasa adalah harus dan dibolehkan dalam Islam.
