What is required of one who eats the pre-dawn meal after the Fajr adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Mu'awiya Adam has this question regarding fasting in Ramadan. He says: "I was sleeping, and when the time for the pre-dawn meal came, I got up to eat it. Five minutes after finishing the meal, the prayer was called for. Do I have to make up the day? Or do I have to make up the fast? Knowing that I did not hear the Fajr adhan. Please inform us, O Shaykh?"
Answer:
If the one who called for the prayer delayed after the adhan for the duration in which one strives to clarify and distinguish the dawn, then you must make up the fast, according to the majority of the scholars. However, if someone who hastens called for the prayer after the adhan, and you finished eating immediately after the adhan, then it does not harm you; because the adhan is based on the assumption of dawn, not on seeing the dawn. People call the adhan based on the calendar and calculation, so their adhan may be a little before the dawn.
So the conclusion is: one does not know for certain when the dawn has risen. If you abstained when the adhan finished, the fast is valid, if Allah wills. But if you delayed a lot, the most likely case is that you caught the dawn, so you must make up the fast according to most of the scholars. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
