Q
How did early Muslims interpret the Quranic instruction regarding fasting before the clarification was revealed?
A
When the following verses were revealed: ‘Eat and drink until the white thread appears to you, distinct
from the black thread’ and of dawn was not revealed, some people who intended to fast, tied black and
white threads to their legs and went on eating till they differentiated between the two. Allah then
revealed the words, ‘of dawn’, and it became clear that meant night and day.
