Am I a cheapskate

I have never had Iftar at masjid before cause it never occurred to me. I’m not a pious muslim but I still pray and puasa. This year, my friend and I decided to go discover some masjid. Of course we would have our Iftar there as well. And I love it. The vibe is great and I get to solat berjemaah so why not kan.

But today, I was chit chatting with my non-muslim boss. Told him I had Iftar at masjid and he said those foods are for the needy and I’m not. He was laughing and I felt like he was degrading me for having those free food.

So tell me, are those foods really only for the needy and not for people like me who are capable of buying my own food?
