Drinking after Adhan is made


496

Q: During Ramadan, I woke up 7 minutes after Fajr (Dawn) Adhan (call to Prayer) to drink, and I did not know whether the Adhan had been made. A friend told me not to drink until we became sure whether the dawn had broken. However, I drank, and afterwards he informed me that Fajr Adhan had been called 7 minutes before. Knowing that I fasted the entire day, is it obligatory on me to offer Kaffarah (expiation) and make up for that day? What is the ruling?


A: It is obligatory on you to make up for that day, and there is no Kaffarah upon you.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
