The Ruling on Breaking the Fast at the Adhan in Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
The presenter:
Thank you.
The questioner:
We have a question regarding the twenty-ninth day of Ramadan, which was the last day of the blessed month that has passed. We received the guidance, and the mu'adhdhin in Makkah al-Mukarramah called the adhan. The adhan had just begun when we broke our fast. Then, afterwards, the mu'adhdhin in al-Hudaybiyyah called the adhan. Is it obligatory for us to make up this day? Or is it sufficient that we broke our fast at the adhan of Makkah al-Mukarramah?
The Shaykh:
My brother, do you see the setting of the sun? Breaking the fast is based on the setting of the sun. If you see the sun set in any place, the time for breaking the fast has arrived. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1954 So you rely on seeing the setting of the sun. And if you do not see it, you rely on the adhan near you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you

When night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast.
