Fasting with continuous connection (wasal)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She has a question, Shaykh, about continuous fasting. She asks: Is it permissible for us to fast in this manner, and is it a recommended practice or is it specific to the Messenger?

Answer:
It is better for a person to break his fast when the sun sets and not continue fasting. However, if it is absolutely necessary, he may continue fasting until the pre-dawn meal, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for this. Yes.
