Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this sister, Umm Asma, says: What is the ruling on breaking the fast? I fast on Thursdays and Mondays and the white days, but I break my fast two minutes before the adhan.
Answer:
It is not permissible to break the fast before sunset. If you break your fast before sunset, the fast for that day becomes invalid because you did not complete it. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:187] But before the sun sets and before night is seen coming from the east, it is not permissible for a person to break his fast. If he breaks it, he invalidates his fast because he did not complete his day. Yes.

ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ
