I wanted to know if we need to fast the same day as the people of Saudi start their Ramadan? Because usually Saudi starts to fast a day before compared to people of India so there is a day difference. What should be followed the fasting pattern followed in Saudi or India in the country which we are currently residing in?

Fasting

In Ramadan we friends go out to give iftar food to the needy on streets, those who are fasting. But, we see many who are not fasting but they line up to get the food which we are distributing for those who are fasting. We want fasting people to break their fast with the food that we give. If we give it to non-fasting people then wouldn’t that be wrong?

Fasting

No, it wouldn’t be wrong unless the money is specificity given for fasting people. Usually, you can’t verify who is fasting and who isn’t.
