Can I break my fast after first performing maghrib prayers rather than immediately at the time of adhan?

I cannot eat and then pray, because my stomach will be full and I feel like I am going to vomit when I do ruku and sujud.

Thank you for your question. There is no problem with breaking your fast after the magrib prayers. In fact, in a tradition from Imam al-Sadiq (as) it is preferable to pray before breaking the fast.

May you always be successful.
