Breaking Fast: To eat Dinner first or Pray Maghrib?

Sheikh ‘Abdul ‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy upon him)



Question: Is it from the sunnah when breaking the fast to eat some dates & drink water then pray maghrib  & afterwards eat & drink whatever he wishes?

 Answer: “Yes, (it is from the sunnah), because this is what empowers (one with) a type of advantage. He rushes to break the fast with what Allaah has made easy from dates & water, then goes to pray maghrib along with the congregation so that he does not miss it, then returns & eats whatever he wishes to eat & like this.
If they are a group however on a journey for example, then they can eat & have dinner, then pray. If they delay the maghrib  prayer until ‘ishaa  or pray after they have eaten then nothing is wrong with that.

As for being in the cities & towns, i.e. residents, then a person should eat what Allaah makes feasible then proceed to the prayer so that he doesn’t miss the congregation.
