food and ramadan!

hi.
okay so i had some guest at my house today. and i knew that one of my uncle is not fasting. should i serve food to him in ramadan.
what does islam say about it?

Re: food and ramadan!

Well..some people in my mom's side do not fast. And when they come....my mom still serves them tea.

Re: food and ramadan!

Muslims should be hospitable. If he was the only guest, I don't think there's anything wrong in serving him simple refreshments. If he was accompanied by other guests who are fasting, they "might" feel burdened by the temptation of food being served....but I think most of us are strong enough to endure n not let it overwhelm us.....we see our coworkers eating....maybe a family member who is not fasting eats in front of us.....or food on tv, etc.....but again most of us can handle it.

Re: food and ramadan!

Sure you can serve him. but only after taking him on a guilt trip about it :hehe:

Re: food and ramadan!

RV: its not about tamptation. we all are grown ups. its about what should we do in these kind of situations. because i remember when i was little my mom would never let me eat infront of anyone. we used to eat in kitchen. wo b chup k. so i was wondering what has islam say about it.

wont he get embressed eating in front of all the people. :O. my aunty told me that he does not fast. but i didnt ask him if he want anything. it was kinda odd.
