Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Also, many people eat during the Fajr adhan until the adhan is completed. What is the ruling on this eating that takes place during the adhan?
The Shaykh : The ruling on this eating that takes place during the adhan depends on the adhan of the mu'adhdhin. If he does not call the adhan until he is certain that the dawn has appeared, then it is obligatory to abstain from the moment he calls, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 1092b. If he is not certain that the dawn has appeared, it is better to abstain when he calls, and he may eat until the mu'adhdhin finishes, as long as he is not certain, because the default is that the night remains. However, the best course is to be cautious and not eat after the Fajr adhan. Yes.
