Fasting of One Who Drinks Water at the Time of the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a mu'adhdhin (the one who calls to prayer). I ate the suhur (the pre-dawn meal) for the sake of fasting, and I did not drink water because I intended to drink it when I woke up just before the adhan. However, I did not wake up until the time of the adhan, so I drank the water and then called the adhan. Is my fast valid?
Answer:
This depends on you. If you drank the water after the dawn (Fajr) had appeared, then your fast is not valid. If you drank the water after the dawn had appeared, then your fast is not valid. But if you drank it before the dawn had appeared, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
