What is the ruling on one who continues his pre-dawn meal after the dawn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it authentic that some of the Companions continued their pre-dawn meal, or ate the pre-dawn meal, after the dawn, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of them?

Answer:
I do not know of anything regarding that, and the verse is explicit; the noble verse is explicit:
And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black threadوَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:187]
. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
so eat and drink (Suhur) till Ibn Um Maktum pronounces the Adhan.كلوا واشربوا حتى يؤذن ابن أم مكتوم
Sahih al-Bukhari 622, 623
. And there was a blind man who called the adhan for the dawn; he did not call the adhan until it was said to him, "It is morning. It is morning." Yes. So a person should not be lax in this matter. Yes.
