The Ruling on Delaying the Breaking of the Fast and Advancing the Adhan Before Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And it is not the thing.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
And if one delays after Maghrib from the setting of the sun by ten or fifteen minutes, and likewise takes it about twenty minutes before, what is the loss regarding the rescue and the person? Since some enter upon it when it is established at the setting of the sun, and we have established it at the setting of the sun.
The Shaykh:
These people are contrary to the Sunnah; they may be among the innovators who do this thing, so we do not agree with this. Breaking the fast is at the setting of the sun, and the pre-dawn meal is at the appearance of the dawn. As for the adhan before the appearance of the dawn, there is no harm in it if there is someone who calls the adhan at the dawn, if there are two mu'adhdhins or one mu'adhdhin who calls the first adhan and then calls the final adhan. However, if he calls the adhan before the appearance of the dawn and relies on this adhan alone, that is misleading the people, and it is not permissible.
