A fasting person is not permitted to break their fast except after sunset, as Allah Almighty says: "Then complete the fast until the night." The determining factor is the setting of the sun, not the , for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the night approaches from this side, and the day retreats from this side, and the sun has set, then the fasting person may break their fast."
