When you're offering some food, for any fasting Muslim (Like a wayfarer) in Ramadan, to break his fasting and get the great Ajr of Allah Sobhanaho wa Ta'ala.. Would you ask him about his sect first? And why?
May Allah accept all your good deeds...

I am a Christian, but I have had the pleasure of being in Egypt three times during Ramadan. May I say that it is a pleasure to me to be there at that time because God asked us (Christians) to care for our brothers and sisters as well, and I am offered the opportunity daily to provide for one of my brothers or sisters when I am there during the fast.
Regardless of a person's faith, I would never ask his or her sect, or church, or even if they are a believer. God has blessed me with resources to help care for his other children, and I am only glad in my heart when I have the opportunity to do so. I hope that is acceptable, and that I am not supposed to ask when dealing with Muslims.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

No you shouldn't ask him it's supposed you want ajr from that even if he's from a different sect than you're and don't forget we are all Muslims. In fact you'll get ajr even if you feed a non Muslim, a Christian or a Jew or an atheist because we are all human beings.

Certainly not! Whatever kind of Muslim he or she is, it's Muslim, I want Allah's reward for helping a Muslim break his/her fast, insha'Allah.
You know what's really cool? Breaking your fast at the Holy Mosque in Makkah! There are at least a million people, and most of them have food they want to share. If you're doing saie at Magreb time, people stand right in the way and offer you coffee, dates, and bread.
Ramadan is coming! Alhamdulillah! (Praise God!)

Never.. I offer food only seeking the reward from Allah Subhanhu wa Ta’alaa, not for the sake of any being..
Last year, I used to have a lecture that ends only 45 minutes before maghrib time.. I used to have light food like dates and biscuits in my bag in case the adhan was held when I was still out.. Wallahi, I used to offer food to whom I know or I don’t know.. Even, some Christian friends accepted my invitation to the simple food I offer.. It’s not just the happiness you feel when you share something you have with people.. It’s more to be that overwhelming peace you encounter while doing so..
Ramadan Mubarak , brother :)

I would NEVER do that. First of all as you stated in a previous question sects should not be a part of Islam, second as long as he/she decided to fast for Allah during the Holy Month of Ramadan then I could care less what ''name'' they give themselves, because if they say that they are fasting for God then who am I to accuse them of doing it for someone else ? so yeah that would never happen, and I hope something like that doesn't stop anyone else from helping others ESP in ramadan when God asks us to be sincere and retain from all wrong.

No I wouldn't and in fact as someone else has said also, if he was not yet a Muslim and fasting Ramadan I would be happy to offer him food.
Ramadan Kareem :)
Salam.

Of course not. Muslims seek rewards from Allah & what he said is to offer food to Muslims, so that would be enough for me. We also believe that Allah will reward us to feed those in need even if they were not Muslims, we do not ask what their religion is first.

A charity is a charity regardless of who and what is the recipient's RELIGION, SECT OR NATIONALITY!
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was very kind and charitable to the Pagans of Mecca and Medina and to the Jews of Medina. He offered them shelter, food , hospitality, respect, dignity and humanity regardless whether they believe on his prophethood or not.
Should we not follow his glorious example then in giving?
