One Who Breaks His Fast Based on a Child's Report of the Maghrib Adhan, Then It Is Revealed That He Was Wrong
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is another question. A man says: I was waiting to break my fast with my sons, so one of my young sons came and said, "Father! The mu'adhdhin has called the adhan." So the father broke his fast without verifying the report. After a while, the mu'adhdhin called the adhan. Is his fast valid, or does he have to make it up?
The Shaykh:
If a person is required to make up the fast, it is because it was a voluntary act, since first, a young boy is not relied upon in such a situation. Also, the mistake became apparent; it became clear that he was mistaken and that some of the day remained. So he has to make it up. Yes. This is on the condition that it is established that the one who informed them was trustworthy and excused. But when the sun became visible, as 'Urwah said, is there a requirement to make it up based on 'Urwah's testimony? The ruling is that he has to make it up. If it becomes clear that he was young and the sun had risen, they have to make it up.
Another questioner:
Some people call the adhan, and when it is necessary, the point becomes clear. This has happened.
The Shaykh:
Do not move anything. It is delicate. A fire. Like this, it does not go away. But if he knows that the sun has not set, or if he ate before the appearance, he takes it.
Another questioner:
And our son is not female.
The Shaykh:
If it is established that he ate before sunset, he takes it. Or if it is established that he ate after the setting of the dawn, he said: The prayer, according to the majority, is made up until it exits from its difference. From the slave who attains the degree of summer by good character, from the one who fasts during the day and stands in the house. Do you remember anyone? Or do you not remember anyone?
Another questioner:
During the day, it is obligatory for her to eat what she will eat.
The Shaykh:
In Ramadan, it is obligatory for him to abstain, and it is accepted, like a traveler who arrives in his country during the day; it is obligatory for him to abstain and it is accepted; because the cause increased.
Another questioner:
May Allah make you happy.
The Shaykh:
Because it is a day of fasting. Like if they became fasting and then it was established that the crescent was seen last night, they abstain and make it up. If the proofs came in the late morning and they testified that they saw the crescent last night,
Another questioner:
A sick woman.
The Shaykh:
They acknowledge, they abstain, they acknowledge.
Another questioner:
If it was cold and he broke the fast at the first look.
The Shaykh:
How much work? It did not reach me.
