I woke up at suhoor, as I wanted to make up for my fard fast. When I was eating I heard athan. I continued eating till I finished food in the bowl even two minutes after the athan.I noticed the time for iqamah, the gap between athan and qamah was 25 mins. So I guess the athan was before the actual dawn. I was aware that we can continue drinking but I was not sure about eating. But it was pitch dark outside, so i thought it was ok. Was my act right?
