Summary
A person who provides food for a fasting person to break the fast, even with a single date or a glass of water, receives a reward equal to that of the one fasting. The wording of the hadith is general, so it covers obligatory, voluntary and make-up fasts. Inviting and feeding a fasting person at the time of breaking fast is recommended, and Imam al-Nawawi notes there is no disagreement on this.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang yang memberi makan kepada orang yang berpuasa walaupun hanya dengan sebiji tamar atau segelas air kepada seorang yang berpuasa sunat, maka dia mendapat pahala sama seperti pahala orang yang berpuasa tersebut.
