The obligation to abstain from eating upon knowing the dawn has appeared
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a suhur meal is served to a person and he has just started eating when the mu'adhdhin begins the adhan, should he stop eating or eat whatever is convenient for him?
As for if the mu'adhdhin says: I do not call the adhan unless I see the dawn, so it is obligatory to stop from the moment one hears the adhan;By the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): (Indeed, Bilal calls the adhan at night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls, for he does not call until the dawn appears).
As for if it is based on the calendar, the calendar in our view anticipates the dawn specifically,Meaning: by about five minutes, as the brothers know, some mu'adhdhins call according to the time and some delay, so in any case, a person should have a calibrated clock so he can know the appearance of the dawn by adding five minutes to the calendar time, and at that point he abstains.
