Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How is the abstention from food and drink to be observed? In the present time, is it from hearing the first mu'adhdhin for Fajr, or from the last one? Especially since we do not see[Al-Baqarah 2:187]?
Answer:
Abstention is based on the approach and the rising of Fajr. If the person is in a place where he does not see Fajr, such as in cities where he sees the lights, and if he is in cities or villages where he does not see Fajr, he relies on the adhan. However, if he is in the open countryside, he sees Fajr and relies on that. As for cities and villages, he relies on the adhan. If he hears the adhan, he should be cautious, and praise be to Allah. If some people are known to be early risers, he relies on the moderate mu'adhdhin, those who base their adhan on the rising of Fajr, and who have established statements regarding this matter. Yes.
