Ruling 1718 — Fasting (Ṣawm)

It is recommended for a fasting person to perform maghrib and ʿishāʾ prayers before breaking his fast. However, if someone is waiting for him or he is very drawn to food – such that he cannot pray with presence of heart – it is better that he first break his fast. However, as much as he possibly can, he should perform the prayers within their prime time (waqt al‑faḍīlah).[1]
