Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the month of Ramadan, when breaking the fast, is breaking the fast given priority, even if it delays the performance of the prayer, or is the prayer given priority?
Answer:
Breaking the fast does not take much time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas the dinner is after the prayer. One prays with the congregation, and that suffices for the dinner. People nowadays have dinner instead of breaking their fast; they have dinner. We do not call that breaking the fast; we call it dinner. Breaking the fast takes a matter of seconds, or less than a second. One breaks the fast, stands up for an hour, then returns to have dinner. Yes.

Answer:
Breaking the fast does not take much time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
He used to eat fresh dates, and if he did not find them, then dried dates, and if he did not find those, then sips of water, then he would go out to pray.
كان يأكل رطبا، فإن لم يجد فثمرا، فإن لم يجد فحسوات من ماء، ثم خرج يصلي
