Alsalam alaykom
Masha'Allah sister Jenniffer this hadeeth is correct and it means that mean when athan Alfajer starts then we will start fasting, and all that Imsak stuff they talk about is wrong, I heard on fatwas on saudi arabia TV that even if u are raising a cup to drink and or a any bite to eat, do not throw that away complete that drink and that bite, and I heard on another program that the imsak habit started with the Fatmyeen, and was not at the time of Prophet Muhammad Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him or his sahaba or tabeen.
I have the full issue in one book here at home sister M. I will search for it and post it soon isnha'Allah, since it is 1:20 now and I am very sleepy, have to go sleep for 2 hours before athan :ph34r:
Salam
