Selling Food in Ramadan
A Muslim owner of a halal restaurant from Russia asks: Is it permissible to deliver ready-made food, such as mansaf, broth, and others, to the homes of Muslims and non-Muslims during Ramadan? Another question: Is it permissible to sell this food in the restaurant itself during Ramadan to non-Muslims or travelers who sit in the restaurant and eat there, or must he close the restaurant during the day in Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for him to deliver food to non-Muslims during the day in Ramadan, and to Muslims for iftar. It is permissible to offer food to non-Muslims during the day in Ramadan because they are not obligated to fast. And God knows best.
