The reformist alleges that their delay of (8-10 minutes in most cases) in breaking Fast after the metrological announced sunset time, is based on the Ahadith narrated by Ghulat (the exaggerators) and thus, those who knowingly delay breaking their Fast beyond the time observed by the general Muslims are basically followers of Ghulat!

Once again the link to the reformer’s video is given below and in Appendix we cite his quoted Ahadith and briefly refute his baseless allegations against the twelve Imami Shias fast breaking time. (Link to the reformers allegations against 12 Imami Shias: https://youtu.be/1eS8TXBq-7I ) Allegations of the reformer and our defence: In the video link ( https://youtu.be/1eS8TXBq-7I ) in general, he has a habit of long-winded talk so he does not come to the point until at 19:19 minutes.

However, prior to 19:19 minutes, the reformist emphasises the criteria of Ahadith authenticity. The reformist ignores the basic and foremost criteria – the Holy Quran – but adheres to the man-made one, the ilmul rejal (scrutiny of the narrators), as fabricated by the non-Shia imams – from the Ahl-e-Sunnah! Isn’t it very strange, no reference is made to the Quranic Verses related to Fasting.

A selective and devious approach is executed to destroy the unity among the Shias of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws , with respect to time of fast breaking, I would suggest to him to rather focus his energies and efforts on uniting the Muslim Ummah on the 1 st of Shawwal where there are usually two to three days of Eid celebrations. The Idea of breaking the fast before the actual sunset comes from Ahadith found in Sahih Bukhari [11] .

In fact Allah -azwj Says in Holy Quran (2:187) ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْل ( Complete the fast to the night ) [12] . Let’s move on and we will return to this Holy Verse later on. At 20:00 minutes, finally the reformist shows his love and care for those Muslims who are ready to assassinate Shias (if and when given an opportunity) and says opening fast later then other Muslims simply destroys the unity among the Muslims! Hence, if possible, we should break Fast with other Muslims.

He wants to be friendly with Salafis among the Muslims (@ 21:00 minutes) – the Salafis who have and always will declare Shias as Kafir and have legitimised shedding blood of Shias – history of full of examples how many twelve Imami shias they have killed!!
