The Ruling on Drinking During the Fajr Adhan for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a person who drinks while the adhan for the Fajr prayer is being called? Does he break his fast or not?
Answer:
We said: He should not drink once the mu'adhdhin begins the adhan; he should not eat or drink, because his adhan is for the appearance of the dawn. If he eats or drinks after the mu'adhdhin has started, he has eaten after the dawn has appeared. This applies if the mu'adhdhin is punctual, calling the adhan at the precise time or seeing the dawn himself; in that case, he should not eat or drink when the mu'adhdhin begins. However, if the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan early, like the first adhan or the adhan of Bilal, then he may eat and drink until the second adhan is called. Yes.
