The questioner:
The criterion for breaking the fast of the fasting person, may Allah bless you, is it the dates with coffee after the adhan, or is it the intended Isha prayer?
The Shaykh:
The fasting person breaks his fast after the setting of the sun.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
And not the large one, and not the small one. Yes.
The questioner:
If Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
So when the night has entered here and the day has departed and the sun has set, the fasting person has broken his fast in ruling, but it is better that he hastens, even with a date or even with a sip of water, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 699Sahih (Darussalam) The most beloved of breaking the fast is the hadith. It says, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, . Yes.
The questioner:
Breaking the fast in ruling, is it obligatory for him to intend breaking the fast in ruling?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not intend it; he has entered into breaking the fast even if he did not intend it. He has broken his fast in ruling, but it is not preferred for him in innovations. It is not preferred for him except that he hastens, either drinking water, or a date, or something similar to what breaks the fast of the fasting person. The sky is better for him,
The questioner:
Like the one on the road, the best thing for you. No water, no dates.
The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah, he has broken his fast, and he has the reward because he places it upon you.
