Organizing communal iftaars to encourage people to fast
Question: 1948
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
I think that there is nothing wrong with it, but it is better not to do this, because the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) did not do such a thing. If people can be encouraged to observe naafilah fasts through words, then this is sufficient and there is no need to do so through deeds.
