Hastening To Break The Fast And Praying Maghrib At The Beginning Of It's Time

𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓

How should the Muslim break his fast? Because many people are distracted by eating until the time for Maghrib prayer ends, and if you ask them they tell you: There is no prayer in the presence of food. Is it permissible to quote these words as evidence, because the time for Maghrib is short? Now what should I do? Should I break my fast with some dates and then pray Maghrib and after that finish eating, or should I finish eating completely and then pray Maghrib?

𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️

The Sunnah is for the fasting person to hasten to break the fast as soon as he is certain that the sun has set, because of the hadiths "The people will continue to be fine so long as they hasten to break the fast" and "The most beloved of the slaves of Allah to Allah are those who are quickest to break the fast."

The best way for the one who is fasting is to break his fast with a few dates, then delay eating until after Maghrib prayer, so that he may combine the Sunnah of hastening to break the fast and praying Maghrib at the beginning of it's time, in congregation, following the example of the Prophet. With regard to the hadiths, "There is no prayer in the presence of food or when resisting the urge to relieve oneself" and "If 'Isha and dinner come at the same time, start with dinner," and similar reports, what is meant is if a person is offered food or if he comes to eat, then he should start with the food before praying, so that he can pray without his mind being focused on the food and his prayer then will be offered with proper focus and humility.

But he should not ask for food to be brought before praying if that means that he will miss out on offering the prayer at the beginning of it's time or praying in congregation.
