Ruling on relying on the adhan for breaking the fast and abstaining from food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We return at the beginning of this episode to a letter from one of our female listeners, who sent a letter ending with the words: “Your sister in Allah, Su'ad Ahmad.” Sister Su'ad asks in this episode and says: The adhan is called on the radio before the adhan of the mosque near us, and I also hear the call from a distance, but I do not understand what the mu'adhdhin is saying. Then the adhan is called in another mosque closer to me than the first, and then a third adhan is called in a mosque closer to me than the second. So which call should I rely on for abstaining from food, or for breaking my fast?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
The believer is commanded to be cautious with his religion and to stay away from doubtful matters. So if the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan at sunset, do not hasten while you are fasting until you are reassured that it is the adhan for the time. This is because some mu'adhdhins may hasten and rush to the adhan without verifying, or their clock may be fast. So do not hasten until two or three have called and you are reassured, unless you know that the mu'adhdhin near you is trustworthy and careful about the time. In that case, rely on him and break your fast with his adhan.
Likewise, in the morning, do not eat after the adhan. If you hear the adhan, abstain and be cautious, because in the morning, caution is exercised by acting on the first mu'adhdhin's call, and in the evening, caution is exercised in not breaking the fast. This is because some mu'adhdhins may be early or may rush. So you must be cautious in both matters, in the morning and in the evening. In the morning, hasten with your suhur and be cautious so that when the time approaches the adhan, you have finished everything, fasted with certainty, and are safe from eating during the time of doubt. In the evening, do not hasten until you are reassured that the mu'adhdhin called at sunset, unless you know a trustworthy person known for his trustworthiness, and he calls. In that case, rely on him, and there is no harm. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
