Q1: What is the ruling on one who hears obscene speech while fasting ?
A1: If a person hears obscene speech, and it is directed at him and is an insult to him, let him respond by saying: "I am a fasting man"; for what al-Bukhari recorded in (his Sahih, vol. 2, p. 228) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "..Riyad as-Salihin 1215 .." the hadith. However, if this insult is directed at someone else, or if one spoke obscenely without addressing anyone, let him advise that speaker and urge him to stay away from the vices of speech, and warn him against obscenity in speech and action; for Allah the Exalted said: [At-Tawbah 9:71] the verse.
Q2: What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast after the sun has set and before the Maghrib adhan ?
A2: If the fasting person is certain that the sun has set, it is recommended for him to hasten to break his fast, even if he has not heard the mu'adhdhin; for what Sahl ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 699Sahih (Darussalam) agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and this is the wording of al-Bukhari in (his Sahih, vol. 2, p. 241). And for what al-Bukhari also recorded (vol. 2, p. 240) from 'Asim ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab from his father (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1954 . And for the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in what he narrates from his Lord: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 700Da'if (Darussalam) narrated by Imam Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
