The pre-dawn meal is not a condition for the validity of fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: A person slept before the pre-dawn meal in Ramadan while intending to eat it until morning. Is his fasting valid or not?

Answer: His fasting is valid; because the pre-dawn meal is not a condition for the validity of fasting, but rather it is recommended; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Eat Suhur, for in Suhur there is a blessing.تسحروا فإن في السحور بركة
Sunan Ibn Majah 1692Sahih (Darussalam)
agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
