The Ruling on Breaking the Fast at the Adhan from the Radio or Television
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on breaking the fast at the adhan from the radio or television?
Answer:
If the timing does not differ, there is no harm. In fact, if the timing differs, it is not permissible. You do not break your fast at the adhan of those who are ahead of us in time, for example, breaking your fast at the adhan of Dammam or the adhan of Kuwait, as they are ahead in time, so you do not break your fast at their adhan. Yes. And do not delay your suhur by saying, "I will wait until the Haram gives the adhan." The Haram is half an hour [ahead]. That means half an hour after Fajr. It is not permissible. If the timing differs, follow the local adhan. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
