The ruling on breaking the fast before the adhan if the mu'adhdhin is delayed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The mu'adhdhin was delayed, Shaykh, so I broke my fast two or three minutes before the scheduled time?
The Shaykh:
If you have ascertained the sunset and broken your fast, there is no harm, even if the mu'adhdhin is late.
The questioner:
But the calendar says eighty-five minutes, Shaykh, and I broke my fast at fifty-six minutes. I am sure the time had passed, but the adhan confused me, and I do not know what to say.
The presenter:
All right, what is the duration or the number of minutes?
The questioner:
Two minutes.
The presenter:
The Shaykh has answered you on this, thank you.
The questioner:
The answer, if you please, Shaykh Khalid.
The presenter:
Yes, Honorable Shaykh, he says: I did not hear, I want you to repeat it, because he says he broke his fast two minutes before it, Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
Before what?
The presenter:
Before the time, the time for breaking the fast. The mu'adhdhin was delayed, so he broke his fast two minutes early.
The Shaykh:
If you are sure that the mu'adhdhin was delayed and you broke your fast according to the time, there is no harm, yes.
