IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS RAMADHAN SIRI KE- 141: PENGHANTARAN MAKANAN KEPADA ORANG YANG TIDAK BERPUASA
What is the ruling on a food delivery rider delivering food to someone who is not fasting in Ramadan?
Short answer
Giving food to a person known to be deliberately not fasting without a valid religious excuse is prohibited, because it assists that person in committing a sin.

Summary
Giving food to a person known to be deliberately not fasting without a valid religious excuse is prohibited, because it assists that person in committing a sin. If the rider does not know whether the customer is fasting, delivery is permitted, since the customer may have an excuse such as a woman in a legally recognised state of impurity or a sick person. If the rider knows the order comes from someone deliberately not fasting without an excuse, he may not deliver it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala sekiranya seseorang itu mengetahui bahawa pesanan tersebut adalah dari orang yang tidak berpuasa dengan sengaja tanpa sebarang keuzuran, maka tidak boleh menghantar makanan tersebut kepadanya.
