Actually this is the basic reason you are out for. Shari`ah has not expressed any clear directive in this regards but the spirit of the religion and the dictates of common sense demand that such an activity should always be encouraged. We hope that this fasting by a non-Muslim proves his first solid step to the religion of truth and may become his most reward-yielding act of life. However, if some scholars of the locality do not approve of this activity and oppose this (which I do not think is the case) then it may be abandoned to avoid dispute that may place the desired benefit. I pray to the Almighty that he blesses you with his help and grants you success in your efforts. Tariq Mahmood Hashmi Research Assistant .[/quote]
