The Ruling on Delaying Breaking the Fast as a Precaution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our dear Shaykh, some people delay breaking their fast as a precaution.
Answer:
This is not permissible. If he sees the setting of the sun with his own eyes, and the coming of the night and the going of the day, then he breaks his fast and does not delay. And if he does not see it, then he relies on the adhan of the mu'adhdhins in the town and does not delay as a precaution. This is what constitutes precaution. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: "The most beloved of My servants to Me are those who break their fast the quickest." So he hastens to break his fast and does not delay. Yes.
