If a person is not certain, or thinks it most likely, or is not sure whether he broke the fast before the proper time, *he should make up the fast later on*, because the basic principle is that the day is still there and has not ended.
(Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 10/287).

He should *beware of relying on the word of small children or untrustworthy sources*, and he should also *beware of the time differences between different cities and villages* when he hears the adhaan on the radio and so on.

▪️When the dawn comes – which is the white light coming across the horizon in the East – the fasting person must stop eating and drinking straightaway, whether he hears the adhaan or not. If he knows that the muezzin calls the adhaan at dawn, he has to stop eating and drinking as soon as he hears his adhaan, but if the muezzin calls the adhaan before Fajr, he does not have to stop eating and drinking when he hears it.

If he does not know the muezzin’s usual practice, or there are differences among the muezzins, and he cannot determine the time of dawn for himself – as is usually the case in cities because of lighting and buildings – he should take the precaution of referring to a printed timetable, so long as he is sure that the calculations on which it is based are not incorrect.

▪️The idea of being on the safe side by stopping eating and drinking a certain time before Fajr, such as ten minutes before, is bid’ah. On some timetables you can see one heading for “imsaak” (stopping eating and drinking) and another for Fajr; this is something that is contrary to Islam.

▪️The Muslims living in cities where there is a distinct alternation of night and day in every twenty-four hour period are *obliged to fast, no matter how long the day is, so long as that distinction between night and day is there*. In some places there is no such distinction between night and day; Muslims in these places should fast according to the times in the nearest city in which there is a distinct alternation of night and day.
