Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks (may Allah preserve you) about continuing the fast until the pre-dawn meal; is that permissible?
Answer:
This is permissible, but the better option is the opposite. The better and more excellent thing is to break the fast when the sun sets. That is the best. However, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that his Companions were eager to continue the fast, he granted them a dispensation to continue until the pre-dawn meal. He granted them a dispensation to continue until the pre-dawn meal. This indicates that the best thing is for a person to break his fast when the sun sets. That is the best. And if he has a desire to continue the fast, he should not go beyond the pre-dawn meal.
