allAfrica.com: Nigeria: Ramadan Talk - Feeding the Poor, Profitable Venture With No Risk
Fasting for a couple of days might be all it takes to understand the suffering of those who go without food in their own way of life. Understanding the plight of the poor is one part of what Ramadan is meant to achieve. We are therefore reminded severally both in the Qur'an and hadith that giving food to fasting Muslim is a great deed in the month.
Some of the penance for kafarah; and remedies for the aged who cannot fast or the terminally ill person who cannot fast is to feed the poor. That shows how much Allah values putting food at the table of the poor. Abundant rewards awaits anyone who feeds a fasting Muslim for sahur or iftar just as there are devine benefits for those who share their wealth with others during the month or after.
