Breaking the Fast After the Maghrib Adhan and Delaying the Congregation in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the month of Ramadan, is breaking the fast after the Maghrib adhan an excuse for sometimes delaying the congregation? Or must a person limit himself to a date and then go to prayer while still hungry?
Answer:
There is a difference between breaking the fast and the Isha prayer. Breaking the fast is sufficient with a date and a glass of water, or three dates, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do: three dates and a glass of water. Then you go to the Isha prayer after breaking the fast. So there is a difference between breaking the fast and the Isha prayer. People now consider breaking the fast to be the Isha prayer. This is not acceptable and does not combine with the prayer? Yes.
