Regarding the time for abstaining from food, it is known that the call to prayer is based on the Umm al-Qura calendar. Some people ask whether one should break the fast according to the calendar or according to the setting of the sun?
No, observation takes precedence. For example, if the calendar states that the sun has set, but you still see the sun, it is not permissible to call the adhan as long as you see the sun. And this happens often.Meaning: It has been observed that the calendar has determined the setting of the sun,And those in the countryside say: but it has not set. So observation takes precedence.
