Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding delaying the pre-dawn meal, we also see that some people do not delay it; that is, they eat the pre-dawn meal earlier and then sleep until, for example, they go to work?

Answer:
Among the etiquettes of the pre-dawn meal is delaying it until it ends with the disappearance of the white thread at the dawn of daybreak. Allah the Exalted said:
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]
Is it recommended to delay the pre-dawn meal? Yes, this is one of the etiquettes of fasting.
