Bismillah
as salam alykom brothers and sisters
Did any of you encounter a situation when a muslim argued that we can continue eating and drinking and other issues only permitted after fast breaking till sunrise under the pretext that the Ayah says "So now have sexual relations with them and seek that which Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from the black," (Quran 2:187)
Actually, the meaning of this Ayah, is till there is sufficient amount of light that allows you to differentiate between a white and black thread (when there is no other source of light like a lamp or something).
This is very important for all of us to fully understand, since there is a group going around raising suspicion in this area and trying to pursue others with their point. May Allah Protect us ameen.
