What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast in Ramadan thinking that the sun has set?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: [Yunus 10:36] , so the third question returns in another way: how did he think so? From where? What did he rely on? We need to see if he has an excuse or if he has no excuse.
The questioner : e : No, he has no excuse, he ... he just ... okay.
The Shaykh: Oh daughter of the noble, do not repeat your words, you explain it to me so that I can answer you. What was this assumption based on? I will give you an example that occurred in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): they looked at the sun and saw that it had set, but then the clouds and mist cleared and the sun appeared. This is a natural occurrence, so they were not ordered to make up the fast. So I am asking now: what was this assumption based on? He may be excused, in which case he owes no make-up fast, or he may not be excused, in which case he owes a make-up fast.
The questioner : e : I mean, he relied on, for example, not seeing the sun or not seeing ...
The Shaykh: Yes, we need to see what the assumption was based on.
The questioner : e : By Allah, the question, O our Shaykh, is written like this, meaning it is not written ...
The Shaykh: In any case, you have understood the answer; there is some detail in it: if the assumption is excusable, he owes no make-up fast; otherwise, he owes a make-up fast.
Indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all
