Abstaining from food and drink and breaking the fast by hearing the adhan or by confirming the setting of the sun and the dawn

The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. I said during your speech that the fasting person abstains and breaks his fast
When it is said the night is fromإذا قيل الليل من
here, and the day is from here,

The Shaykh:
When it approaches.إذا أقبل.
Yes.

The questioner:
When night falls fromإذا أقبل الليل من
Sahih al-Bukhari 1954
here, and the day is from here. Today, all the fasting people do not break their fast except by hearing the adhan, and they abstain by hearing the adhan. Is that sufficient? Or is it necessary to confirm the entry of the night and the clarity of the day? And may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
Fasting and breaking the fast are in two cases. The first case is the one who sees the setting of the sun and sees the appearance of the dawn; he relies on what he sees and observes. If he is in the open or in a prominent place, he relies on what he sees of the two signs: the appearance of the dawn and the setting of the sun. As for the one who does not see the appearance of the dawn or the setting of the sun because he is in buildings or in a city, he relies on the time and relies on the mu'adhdhins who call the adhan for sunset and the adhan for the appearance of the dawn. He relies on them and breaks his fast on the adhan in both cases: on the adhan of Maghrib and the adhan of Fajr. He follows the Muslims; he is an individual among the Muslims, not one who deviates from the Muslims. Yes.
