Summary
The fast ends when the sun sets, not with the sound of the call to prayer. Scholars differ on a person who breaks the fast believing the sun has set. The majority from the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafii schools and many Hanbali scholars hold that the fast is invalidated and must be made up, while some Hanbalis, al-Muzani, Ibn Khuzaimah and the Zahiri scholars hold that the fast remains valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kedua, hukumnya tidak batal puasa. Inilah pendapat sebahagian mazhab Hanbali, al-Muzani dan Ibn Khuzaimah daripada ashab al-Syafie dan juga pandangan ulama' Zahiri.
