Eating and Drinking at the Time of the Fajr Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Sister Am Faras says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on eating and drinking at the time of the Fajr adhan, or after it, whether for a long or short time? We used to do this, my husband and I, for a long period, and that was in Ramadan. Knowing that the husband has passed away, is anything required of us, or is there an expiation for what has passed?
Answer:
This matter depends on the adhan: is it at the correct time? If the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan when the time enters, then it is not permissible to eat or drink at that time or after it, because the time has entered, the time of day has begun, and the night has ended. So it is not permissible to eat or drink after the adhan that is timed according to the precise schedule. But if the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan early, there is no harm in eating and drinking during the adhan and after it, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.

Indeed, Bilal calls the adhan at night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls the adhan. And Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) was a blind man who did not call the adhan until it was said to him: "It is morning, it is morning."
إن بلالا يؤذن بليل فكلوا واشربوا حتى يؤذن ابن أم مكتوم، وكان ابن أم مكتوم رضي الله عنه رجلا أعمى لا يؤذن حتى يقال له أصبحت أصبحت.The presenter:
