Suhoor Is Not Condition For Fasting – Shaykh bin Baaz

السحور ليس شرطا في صحة الصيام

إنسان نام عن السحور، هل صيامه صحيح أم لا ؟

صيامه صحيح؛ لأن السحور ليس شرطا في صحة الصيام، وإنما هو مستحب؛ لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «تسحروا فإن في السحور بركة » متفق عليه . مجموع(15/321)

The noble Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Baaz رحمه الله was asked regarding one who sleeps without taking the pre-dawn meal (suhoor) in Ramadan, is their fast correct?

The Shaykh replied:

Their fast is sound,  because the suhoor is not a condition for a valid fast, rather it is recommended,  due to the statement of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم,   ‘Take the pre-dawn meal,  for indeed there is blessing in it.’ [Bukhari & Muslim]
