The clip which has been watched by over 6k persons generated mixed feelers.
@Jamilu_Kumo said:
"Every Ramadan, I feed a number of people depending on how much I can afford at that particular time. I never keep numbers of records or pictures... Just feed and go."
@IBRAHIM60551203 reacted:
"Good gestures. But, honestly you don't need camera. May Almighty Allah accept our supplications in this holiest month,Amin thuma Amin."
@Engr_BaBida commented:
"His intention is known to Allah alone. If he does it for fame surely, it will be rejected by Allaah (AWJ) but if he does it to inspire other to emulate and surely the gesture goes emulated using the medium (SM) then, he is one of the luckiest of my time. Jazaakallaah Khair Jammal."
