Q&A · Fasting

What do you say when breaking the fast?

There is no single obligatory phrase, but a supplication reported from the Prophet ﷺ expresses that the thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed if Allah wills. One breaks the fast promptly at sunset, ideally with dates or water.
