The hadeeth “Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast…” includes both richand poor

With regard to the hadeeth, "Whoever gives food to a fasting person to
break his fast will have a reward like his without detracting from his
reward in the slightest," is what is meant by the fasting person the
one who is poor? Or does that include relatives and friends? Is there
the same reward for a voluntary fast if one gives food to the fasting
person to break his fast?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The hadeeth is general in meaning and includesboth rich and poor,
obligatory and supererogatory (naafil) fasts. The bounty of Allahis
great, may He be glorified and exalted. End quote.
Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz (25/207)
