Discussion regarding one who ate after hearing the second adhan for Fajr.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : When the second adhan started, were you eating suhur?
The questioner : No, I got up from sleep very thirsty, and I had said I would wake up before the second adhan to drink, and then as soon as I heard the adhan, I woke up and went to drink while he was calling the adhan.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : But I had read that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had heard the adhan while he was drinking.
The Shaykh : He heard the adhan while he was drinking.
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : No, that is why I asked you if you had eaten suhur when you got up from sleep. And Allah knows best that the matter was confused for you by his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Abi Dawud 2350Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani)
The questioner : Yes, this hadith is the one that I...
The Shaykh : If this hadith does not mean that one should start, but rather if, for example, one got up to eat suhur before the time of abstaining from suhur entered, that is, the second adhan, as you said, you got up, for example, five minutes before the adhan started, you began suhur, and then the adhan caught you by surprise, you may finish the rest of your suhur.
The questioner : The intended meaning of the hadith regarding wudu'
The Shaykh : So if it breaks the wudu', it breaks the wudu', but what do they intend? Does it not break it except by resuming intercourse? Does it mean that he prays with it?
The questioner : No.
The questioner : Even if he breaks his wudu', it is not considered a breaker?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is so, because the intended meaning of this wudu' is not to make permissible what was previously forbidden, but rather to mitigate the effect of janabah.
The questioner : To mitigate the effect of janabah.
The questioner : Is this wudu' for everyone who wants to eat or drink or something similar?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The questioner : No, I got up from sleep very thirsty, and I had said I would wake up before the second adhan to drink, and then as soon as I heard the adhan, I woke up and went to drink while he was calling the adhan.

When any of you hears the summons to prayer while he has a vessel in his hand, he should not lay it down till he fulfils his need.
