One of the mosques has announced that there will be iftaar for anyone who wants to fast on Thursdays. What is the ruling on this?

Praise be to Allah.

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah
preserve him, and he answered as follows:

With regard to the question of whether this is a kind of joint worship
that is not prescribed in Islam, the fact is that they are not calling for communal
fasting, they are just announcing that iftaar is available, and there is nothing wrong
with that. And Allaah knows best.
