Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The questioner asks: Is the blessing of suhur obtained by drinking water only?
Answer:
Yes, suhur is with whatever is available to him, even if it is only water, if he has no food. Otherwise, the default is that suhur is food. But if he has no food, if he has no food, he drinks water. Just as when breaking the fast, if he finds no dates or anything to eat, he breaks his fast with water. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to break his fast with fresh dates; if he did not have fresh dates, then with dried dates; if he did not have dried dates, then with sips of water. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) broke his fast. Yes.
