Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is from Algeria. He says: Honorable Shaykh, we strive, and praise be to Allah, to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, but when is the time for breaking the fast for those who are fasting? Is it when the sun sets, or immediately at the Maghrib adhan?
Answer:
Breaking the fast is when the sun sets. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:187] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1954 So the adhan is a sign of the time entering. If you can see the sun, if you can see the sun setting, then break your fast based on that. And if you cannot see it, break your fast at the adhan, because it is a sign of the sun setting. Yes.

Answer:
Breaking the fast is when the sun sets. Allah the Exalted said:
Then complete the fast until the sunset
ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِWhen night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast.
إذا أقبل الليل من هاهنا وأدبر النهار من هاهنا وغربت الشمس قد أفطر الصائم،
