The fifteenth question from Fatwa No. ( 5611 )
Q15: How long was the interval between the pre-dawn meal and the dawn prayer?
A15: The time for the pre-dawn meal extends until the dawn, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:187] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 622, 623 It is agreed upon that it is authentic. And Ibn Umm Maktum was a blind man who would not call the adhan until he was told that it had become morning. It is recommended to delay the pre-dawn meal. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
Q15: How long was the interval between the pre-dawn meal and the dawn prayer?
A15: The time for the pre-dawn meal extends until the dawn, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]
وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِNarrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bilal pronounces the Adhan at night, so eat and drink (Suhur) till Ibn Um Maktum pronounces the Adhan."
إن بلالاً يؤذن بليل، فكلوا واشربوا حتى يؤذن ابن أم مكتوم
