Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I am a driver who travels around, and I stopped at one of the companies. It seems the mu'adhdhin was late. I have a mu'adhdhin program on my mobile phone, so I broke my fast according to the adhan on my phone. About two minutes later, the mu'adhdhin at this company called the adhan on the expressways. Shaykh. Okay.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
A driver says: I am a driver who travels around, and I broke my fast, Shaykh, according to my mobile phone, and I heard the adhan two minutes later from the company where I am sitting?
The Shaykh:
If he broke his fast before the sun set, the default is that the day remains. So if he is not certain that the sun has set, it is not permissible for him to break his fast. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1954 So if he broke his fast before the sunset, his fast is not completed, and he must make up this day. Yes.
