The ruling on breaking the fast before Maghrib.

The questioner : Regarding the ruling on breaking the fast before Maghrib, naturally, we break our fast before the adhan, but four or five days ago I was late in breaking my fast. I was on my way home to the farm in Wadi Sir, and when I arrived at the mosque of Suhayb, the twilight of the sun was still visible. The adhan was called, and the edge of the sun was still visible.

The Shaykh : Here is another witness.

The questioner : We break our fast before the adhan, and the sun has not yet set.

The Shaykh : Yes, you arrived at the last moment, and the detailed explanation of this question was given before you arrived. We mentioned that the terrain in Oman varies greatly; it has mountains, plateaus, plains, and valleys. Therefore, it is not permissible to pray or fast, whether entering or exiting the time, based on the unified adhan. This unified adhan is a calamity for the people here, if only they knew. I mentioned this to them.
