When is the Maghrib time?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can I end my fast as soon as the Maghrib time begins or need to wait for the azan?

Answer

(Fatwa: 731/732/N=1433)

The time of Iftar starts as soon as the sun sets. It is not necessary to wait for azan. But if one delays 2-4 minutes from the calendar timing as precaution then it is better.
قال فى الدر (مع الرد كتاب الصوم باب ما يفسد الصوم وما لا يفسده 3: 400 ط زكريا ديوبند): ويستحب السحور وتاخيره وتعجيل الإفطار لحديث : “ثلاث من أخلاق المرسلين : تعجيل الإفطار وتاخير السحور والسواك” اهـ وفى الرد (ص 330): والمراد بالغروب : زمان غيبوبة جرم الشمس بحيث تظهر الظلمة في جهة الشرق ، …..اهـ
