Summary
The Prophet SAW taught several supplications for a host who has provided food. These include asking for blessing in their provision, forgiveness and mercy for them (narrated by Muslim), and the statement that those fasting have broken their fast, the righteous have eaten their food and the angels have prayed for them (narrated by Abu Daud). The conclusion is that supplication is broad, so one may make any supplication for the host as long as its meaning and purpose are good.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kita berdoalah kepada Allah SWT dengan apa jua doa sekalipun kepada orang yang telah memberi kita makan kerana doa itu sifatnya luas dan kita boleh berdoa apa sahaja selagimana makna dan tujuannya baik.
