If you're out of dates, but you still want to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam what should you break your fast with? Water. Yes that's right. Water. Not salt. ( we heard this when we were kids!) Not sweets. But WATER. šŸƒ Anas radhi Allaahu anhu said: "The Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam used to break his fast with fresh dates before praying. If no fresh dates were available, he would break his fast with dried dates, and if none were available, he would break his fast with a few sips of WATER." (Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhi --saheeh by al-Albaani) And Allaah knows best
