Breaking the fast with meat instead of dates
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth, sixth, and seventh questions from Fatwa No. ( 19472 )
Q5: Is it permissible for a fasting person to break his fast with meat if he cannot find dates?
A5: It is permissible for a fasting person to break his fast with whatever dates or other food or meat are available to him, but it is better to break the fast with fresh dates. If he does not find them, then with dried dates. If he does not find those either, then with water, as it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so.
