Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a mosque mu'adhdhin breaks his fast in the month of Ramadan one minute before the time enters. What is the ruling on his fast?
Answer:
There is danger in this. There is danger in this. One should not precede the time before seeing the sun set with his own eyes or following the trusted, approved calendar. So he should not precede it by anything. If he sees the sun, he must call the adhan or break his fast after it has set. And if he does not see it, he relies on the approved time. Yes.
