Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is also a woman asking: Should I abstain from food and drink when I hear the adhan, or when I verify the appearance of the dawn?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:187], so He made the limit for eating and drinking the appearance of the dawn. Therefore, whoever sees the dawn and witnesses it with his own eyes should continue eating and drinking until he sees the dawn with his own eyes. And whoever does not see it because he is inside a house, inside a room, or does not see the dawn due to an obstacle, he should rely on the timing, using the calendar timing he has, or rely on the adhan, the adhan of the mu'adhdhins, because their adhan is a sign of the appearance of the dawn. It is based on the report of a trustworthy reporter regarding the appearance of the dawn. So if it becomes predominant in his mind that the dawn has appeared based on these signs and these proofs, he should abstain from food and drink. Yes.

Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread
وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ
