Iftar and Suhur in the Mosque

Question

Question: What is the ruling on breaking the fast (iftar) in the mosque, and likewise eating suhur? If a person breaks his fast at home, he misses the congregation (jamaʿa). So what should he do?

Answer

It is better that in such a situation he make the intention of iʿtikaf. Breaking the fast or eating suhur in the mosque is correct, but as far as possible the mosque should not be soiled. Addendum Or, if one eats and drinks at a place that is near the mosque, that is better.
