The prayer before breaking the fast for one who intends to break his fast in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
On the days of Ramadan, meaning the one who enters on the basis of breaking his fast in the mosque and enters at the time of the adhan, meaning it is obligatory for him to pray two rak'ahs and not break his fast, then pray two rak'ahs?
The Shaykh:
So the sunnah (recommended practice) is to leave the two rak'ahs as the priority. Then he breaks his fast. If it is after the adhan or before the adhan, this is the greeting of the mosque, like if the imam comes to deliver the khutbah (sermon) and you have missed it. And do not walk. Meaning, even until you enter the state of iftar (breaking the fast). Yes, he breaks his fast, two rak'ahs are prioritized. First, may Allah reward you with good. They travel to him, may Allah do you good.
