The Ruling on Breaking the Fast with Something Other than Dates

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people have jelly and creams that they use to break their fast. Do these take the place of dates?

Answer:
If dates are not available, they break their fast with whatever food is available. However, if dates are available, eating them is the Sunnah (recommended practice), because they are better than anything else, and nothing else takes their place in terms of virtue or benefit. Yes.
