Sunan Ibn Majah 1751 (Book 7, Hadith 114) #31103
Accepting Invitations While Fasting

SUMMARY: It is permissible to accept an invitation to eat while fasting, and one can choose whether or not to eat.

It was narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever is invited to eat when he is fasting, let him accept the invitation; and if he wants to let him eat, and if he wants let him not eat".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ دُعِيَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ

Accept invitations with kindness and gratitude
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is permissible for a person who is fasting to accept an invitation for food. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged people to accept invitations even when they are fasting, as it is a sign of good manners and respect for the host. However, if the person wishes, they may choose not to eat anything while at the gathering. This hadith also teaches us about being courteous and respectful towards others by accepting their invitations with kindness and gratitude.
