FASTING CHAPTER · 21 – WHAT SHOULD BREAK THE FAST?
Sa’d ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said: “Let one of you break his fast with dates. And if he does not find dates, then let him break it with water, for indeed water is pure and purifying.”
Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) would break his fast with fresh dates before the evening prayer. If fresh dates were not available, he would break his fast with dried dates. And if neither was available, he would drink a few sips of water.
