It is dark for a while after we pray, in any case in London we cannot tell because of the clouds, rain etc Let us say you are eating and all of sudden the Athan sounds off, you can finish anything you had in your hands or mouth. You may not continue to try to level whatever that was in the plate though. Just simply finish what you had in your mouth already or in your hand. I can't remember the last time I have seen the sun set (well i did back home but not here), so we rely on the schedule...that works for us and I think it should for you.

RedSea Posted September 13, 2007 Originally posted by -Lily-: This is a shockingly silly question, I'm under the impression that you cannot eat after the adhan for the morning prayer takes place, but my Aisian friend insists you can eat as long as its dark. Well? walal dont' rely on being dark and what not. Offcourse it will be dark, because the sun isn't up yet. For example here in the U.S. The fajr prayer is around 5:20. I usually wake up around 4:15 and I have all that time in between to eat do little prayer. If it's 5:20 and time for Athan than you can only finish what you started, but you cannot keep eating or start eating then. It has to be stopped right after you finished the piece you have in your mouth or hand. If you want to have good suxuur, wake up litle early and give yourself little time.
