Delay of Iftar
What is the legal ruling for someone who delays iftar for a quarter of an hour after the adhan, justifying that the night begins a quarter of an hour after sunset?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked to delay breaking the fast after sunset intentionally, as it goes against the Sunnah; because the time for Maghrib prayer is considered to begin at sunset in reality, and hastening to break the fast is a Sunnah. And God knows best.
