The ruling on a fasting person breaking his fast upon hearing the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a fasting person to break his fast when he hears the first mu'adhdhin, or should he wait until he hears others, or break his fast based on the radio or television? I ask for clarification on this. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
A fasting person should not rush when he hears the first mu'adhdhin, as the mu'adhdhin may have hastened in the adhan. However, if the mu'adhins around him call from here and there, he may break his fast, because if they call from the right and left and he hears two mu'adhins, it becomes more likely, or he becomes convinced, that the time for breaking the fast has entered.
As for a single mu'adhdhin in a town, he should not rush. But if he is in the desert or in a place where there is only one mu'adhdhin, there is no harm in breaking his fast upon his adhan, provided he trusts his adhan and that he is careful. Yes.
