Is it permissible for a fasting person to drink during the second Adhan of Fajr?

Question : He says: We see many people drinking during the second Adhan of Fajr in the Sacred Mosque, so what is the ruling on this action? And should we rebuke them for it?

Answer : What a person should do is exercise caution and abstain from the moment he hears the call to prayer. However, if he happens to have a vessel in his hand and finishes drinking, there is no blame on him for this, because a dispensation is granted in this case. Yes.
