Question

I have a question about my job i will be working with children its an after school program that will be held in the church form 4-7:30 the problem is that i will be fasting so i want to know if i can go to church and open my fasting there while i work.

Answer

A fasting person must break his fast after sunset irrespective of where he is, Musjid, house, shop etc.

We do not know the reason behind you working in a church and the type of work/teaching you do there. Therefore, we are unable to comment. However, if you are in the church at the time of Iftaar, you will have to break your fast.

And Allah Knows Best
