3a] Which is more important, repeating the word of the adhaan or hastening to break the fast?

3a]
then he says, 'Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar (Allaah is most great,
Allaah is most great),' and you say, 'Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar
(Allaah is most great, Allaah is most great)'; then he says, 'Laa
ilaaha ill-Allaah (There is no god but Allaah),' and one of you says,
'Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (There is no god but Allaah),' from the heart,
he will enter Paradise."
There is no conflict between hastening to break the fast and repeating
the words of the muezzin. The fasting person can hasten to break his
fast as soon as the sun has set, and at thesame time he can repeat the
words of the muezzin.Then he will have attained both virtues, the
virtue of hastening to break the fast and the virtue of repeating the
words of the muezzin.
People from ancient timesuntil now have always spoken whilst eating;
they do not think that eating keeps them from speaking. But it should
be noted that hastening to break the fast may be done by eating
anything, even if it is something small like a date or drinking water.
It does not mean that he should eat until he is full.
The same applies if the adhaan for Fajr is given when one is eating
sahoor; he can combine the two without difficulty.
But if the muezzin gives the adhaan for Fajr after the time for it
begins, then one must stop eating and drinking whenthe adhaan is
heard.
