عن زيد بن خالد الجهني قال : قال صلى الله عليه وسلم : « مَن فطَّر صائماً كان له مثل أجره غير أنه لا ينقص من أجر الصائم شيء » .
Translation: Offering food in Ramadan has extra virtue due to the nobility of the time and the need that the fasting people have for food. The Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said: “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of his reward (i.e. the one fasting), so preparing food in this month for the needy is from the best of actions because (the reward for giving) charity in the month of Ramadan is multiplied more than in the other months.”
Jazakuum Allahuu Khairuun
