::::|| VU ||:::: Breaking Fast with Fresh Dates or Dried Dates

Consider the following explanation by Qayyim Al-Jawziyya on the narrations concerning the Prophet Muhammad (Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) breaking his fast with fresh dates or dried dates.

'fasting clears the stomach of food; th
e liver finds nothing to attract and to send on to the faculties and organs. 

Sweet substances are the quickest to reach the liver being what it likes best, especially rutab [fresh dates]; 

So it eagerly accepts them, and thus both the liver and the faculties benefit thereby. 

Next come tamr [dried dates] because of their sweetness and nutriment. 

If not these, then broth of water, which extinguishes the burning of the stomach and the heat of fasting, and then the stomach is prepared for food and accepts it with good appetite.'

[Imam Ibn al Qayyim Rahimahullah]
