Iftar is how the Muslim people call to the action of breaking a religious fasting period that goes from the morning prayer (fajr) to the evening prayer (Maghreb). This religious act of worship rewards not only the people who is performing the fasting, but also the person who donates the food to this people.

One of the Hadith books relates this clearly stating that the person who gives the food to the people fasting obtains the same rewards as if they themselves are performing the fast

Zayd ibn Khalid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.”
