The time for breaking the fast at the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does the fasting person break his fast at the beginning of the adhan, or does he wait until the end of the adhan?
Answer:
Unless he knows that the adhan of the mu'adhdhin is premature. For example, if he is in the desert and hears the adhan for the setting of the sun, he does not break his fast until the sun sets. However, if he is in a town, and the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, then the time for breaking the fast has entered because he heard the adhan. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever delays breaking his fast, that is a good thing." And the hadith says: Allah the Exalted loves the most of His servants the one who delays breaking his fast.
