In the hadith it is stated: \u201cWhoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Anything that is given to the masjid, it is upon the people of the masjid to distribute it as how they want. Likewise the dates that were given is now in the ownership of the masjid. There is no restriction to only those who are fasting. Thus anyone coming to the masjid can partake of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>References:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u064e\u064a\u0652\u062f\u0650 \u0628\u0652\u0646\u0650 \u062e\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u062f\u064d \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062c\u064f\u0647\u064e\u0646\u0650\u064a\u0651\u0650\u060c \u0642\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e \u0642\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064e \u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650 \u0640 \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 \u0640 \u200f &#8220;\u200f \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0641\u064e\u0637\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064e \u0635\u064e\u0627\u0626\u0650\u0645\u064b\u0627 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0645\u0650\u062b\u0652\u0644\u064f \u0623\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u063a\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0642\u064f\u0635\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0623\u064f\u062c\u064f\u0648\u0631\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0634\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0626\u064b\u0627 \u200f&#8221;\u200f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Sunan Ibn Majah hadith 1746<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0644\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0644\u0643 \u0623\u0646 \u064a\u062a\u0635\u0631\u0641 \u0641\u064a \u0645\u0644\u0643\u0647 \u0623\u064a \u062a\u0635\u0631\u0641 \u0634\u0627\u0621<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u0628\u062f\u0627\u0626\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0646\u0627\u0626\u0639 \u062c\u0666 \u0635\u0662\u0666\u0664<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Written by Mufti Abdoullah Limvoonheek<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 08534 &nbsp; &nbsp; Answered by Mufti Abdoullah Limvoonheek &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; Last ramadan, someone gave dates as gift for the Masjid.
