Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. As the questioner says: Is one’s obligation discharged by breaking the fast upon hearing the radio from the mosque of the district in Ramadan and otherwise?
Answer:
Yes, the radio in the town, one breaks the fast upon it. As for the distant radio where the timing differs, such as you are in Riyadh and you hear the adhan in Kuwait or in the UAE, this is not permissible, because they call to prayer before us; the sun sets for them before it sets for us. If the timing does not differ, then break the fast upon the adhan of the mu’adhdhin. Yes. But if it differs, no. Yes.
