How to combine breaking the fast with the Maghrib prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, in her final question, asks: Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) when breaking the fast, or for the fasting person to break their fast, to eat dates and drink water, then stand up to pray Maghrib, and then eat whatever food and drink they wish?
Answer:
Yes; because this is what allows for combining the benefits. One should hasten to break the fast with what Allah has made easy, such as fresh dates, dried dates, or water, then go to pray with the congregation so as not to miss the congregational prayer, then return and have dinner. There is nothing wrong with this.
As for if they are a group traveling, for example, they may eat and have dinner, then pray. And if they delay the Isha prayer and perform the prayer after breaking their fast, there is nothing wrong with that. However, in cities and villages, a person should take what Allah has made easy for breaking the fast, then go to pray so as not to miss the congregational prayer. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
