Do not Delay the Iftar • It is Mustahab to hasten with Iftar (breaking the fast) as soon as the sun has set. • Iftar should be made before the Maghrib Salat. • The Muezzin should make Iftar before proclaiming the Azaan. • At the time of Iftar, it is Sunnat to recite the following dua: "O Allah! I have fasted for you. I believe in you. I have trust in you and I make Iftar with the rizaq (food) provided by you." • Iftar should preferably be made with dates. In the absence of dates, water is best. • It is Makrooh to make Iftar when in doubt regarding sunset. • If it is overcast, Iftar should be delayed until there is absolute certainty that the sun has set. • If Iftar is made even a minute before sunset, Qadha of the fast is incumbent. It is Makrooh to unnecessarily delay Iftar. • The time of Iftar is very auspicious. Dua is readily accepted at the time when the fast is about to end.
