Question
How can one give food to a person, as most people are not focused on the name of God, and it is explained in Siman He that it is forbidden to mention the name of God without intention, which seems similar to the rule that it is forbidden to give to someone who does not bless, as explained in Siman 163?
Answer
Since it is not certain but doubtful, it is permitted to give, just as it is permitted to give to someone who is doubtful whether they will bless.
