Takeaways

• 😀 Fasting begins at Fajr (dawn) and ends at sunset, as stated in Surah Al-Baqarah 187 of the Qur’an.
• 😀 Sahur (pre-dawn meal) should be completed before Fajr begins. If food is still in your mouth when Fajr arrives, your fast is invalidated.
• 😀 The correct time to stop eating during sahur is when the actual Fajr time starts, not when you hear the first azan (call to prayer).
• 😀 There were traditionally two azans for Fajr: the first by Bilal (early call), and the second by Abdullah Ibn Umm Maktum, marking the actual time for Fajr.
• 😀 The second azan, by Abdullah Ibn Umm Maktum, signals the start of Fajr, and eating should stop at this point.
• 😀 Imsak, the practice of stopping eating slightly before Fajr, is based on hadith and is followed in Indonesia to ensure fasting begins at the correct time.
• 😀 It is important not to rely on the first azan alone, as it is not an indicator of the actual Fajr time.
• 😀 Imam Nawawi stresses that if you are aware that Fajr has started, you should stop eating, and if food is still in your mouth, your fast is invalid.
• 😀 In Indonesia, the azan is typically performed only once, which can create confusion about the timing of Fajr. The correct practice is to stop eating when Fajr has truly begun.
• 😀 The practice of Imsak, stopping before the actual azan, is rooted in the hadith of Prophet Muhammad, where the sahur should end before the time of Fajr begins.

Q & A

What does the Quran say about the timing of fasting?

The Quran mentions in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:187) that fasting begins at the break of dawn (Fajr) and ends at sunset. The fasting time starts when the white thread of dawn is distinguishable from the black thread, also known as Fajr Sodiq.

What should a person do if they are eating and drinking when they hear the azan for Fajr?

According to a hadith, if you are eating or drinking and hear the azan, you should not stop immediately but finish your meal or drink. However, this applies only if the Fajr time has not yet started.

What is the significance of the two azans mentioned in the script?

The first azan, performed by Bilal, is given before the time of Fajr. The second azan, performed by Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum, marks the true start of Fajr, signaling the time to stop eating and drinking for fasting.

What is the role of Imsak in Indonesia regarding fasting?

In Indonesia, Imsak is a tradition where people stop eating and drinking a few minutes before the Fajr azan. This practice is based on the hadith where there is a short period (about 50 verses) between finishing sahur and the azan.

What does Imam Nawawi say about eating when the Fajr time enters?

Imam Nawawi explains that if a person eats or drinks and realizes that Fajr has already entered, their fast is invalid, even if the food is still in their mouth. This ruling is agreed upon by scholars.

Why is it important to stop eating before Fajr?

It is crucial to stop eating before Fajr to avoid invalidating the fast. Once Fajr has entered, eating or drinking can break the fast, and it is considered essential to be cautious about the timing.

What is the connection between the azan and the timing of sahur?

The azan signals the end of sahur. According to the hadith, the sahur should be completed before the azan of Fajr. If the sahur is still ongoing when the azan begins, the fast is invalid.

How do scholars view the practice of Imsak?

Scholars generally support the practice of Imsak as it aligns with the teachings of the Prophet, urging people to stop eating and drinking before Fajr. It is meant to help people avoid mistakes by giving them an additional precautionary time before Fajr.

What happens if a person continues eating after hearing the first azan?

If a person continues eating after hearing the first azan (which occurs before Fajr), their fast is not invalid because the time of Fajr has not yet arrived. However, they must stop before the second azan, which marks the official start of Fajr.

What advice is given regarding the timing of sahur in relation to the Fajr prayer?

It is advised to eat sahur as late as possible, but it should be completed before the Fajr azan. The ideal time to stop eating is around 50 verses before Fajr, which is the tradition followed in Indonesia as Imsak.
