Kapanlagi.com - Suhoor, a moment full of blessings that is recommended in Islam, is an important initial step before performing the fasting ritual. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) emphasized how special suhoor is, both spiritually and health-wise. However, a question arises: what if someone skips suhoor? Is their fast still considered valid?
This question often lingers in the minds of Muslims, especially for those who fall asleep and cannot wake up for suhoor, or perhaps intentionally skip it. Concerns often arise about whether the fast they observe will still be valid in the eyes of Sharia.
To address this doubt, let us explore the ruling on suhoor according to the Quran and Hadith, as well as the views of scholars from various schools of thought. Additionally, we will delve into the extraordinary benefits of suhoor and the best tips for performing it in accordance with Islamic guidance.
The ruling on fasting without suhoor in Islam is valid. Suhoor is not a pillar of fasting, but rather a highly recommended sunnah. Although fasting remains valid without suhoor, neglecting suhoor means missing out on the blessings and benefits contained within it.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged suhoor because it contains blessings and helps maintain stamina during fasting. All four schools of thought (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali) agree on this matter.
It is important to remember that fasting remains valid as long as the intention to fast exists and nothing that invalidates the fast is done. However, it is recommended to still perform suhoor if possible, even if it is just with a sip of water, to gain blessings and maintain physical health.
A hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) states:
"Eating suhoor contains blessings, so do not abandon it, even if it is just with a sip of water." (Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban)
From this hadith, it is clear that suhoor is not an obligation, but it has its own virtues. Allah Almighty also says in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 187:
"And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread. Then complete the fast until the night..."
This verse indicates that the time for suhoor is before dawn, but it does not state that suhoor is a condition for the validity of fasting.
If someone misses the pre-dawn meal (sahur) due to oversleeping, their fast is still valid as long as they have fulfilled the obligatory conditions of fasting. What needs to be noted is the intention to fast, which must be made before dawn.
As explained in the hadith: 'Whoever has not made the intention to fast before dawn, then there is no fast for him.' (HR. Abu Daud and Nasai, authenticated by Sheikh al-Albani).
Thus, the condition for a valid fast is not the pre-dawn meal, but rather the intention before dawn. However, although it is not obligatory, having sahur is highly recommended because it has many virtues. The Prophet Muhammad SAW also said, 'Partake in the pre-dawn meal, even if it is just a sip of water.' (HR. Bukhari).
The opinions of scholars regarding fasting without sahur are quite diverse, but the majority agree that sahur does not affect the validity of the fast. Here are some views from the four major schools of thought:
Shafi'i and Hanbali schools: Sahur is a highly recommended sunnah (an encouraged practice). If someone skips sahur, their fast remains valid, but they miss out on the blessings promised by the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Hanafi school: Imam Abu Hanifah also stated that fasting without sahur is still valid. However, he emphasized that sahur can help someone carry out the fast more effectively.
Maliki school: Sahur is not a condition for a valid fast, but it is still recommended. Maliki scholars stress that sahur has spiritual and physical benefits that should not be overlooked.
Contemporary scholars' opinion: Sheikh Ibn Utsaimin emphasized that sahur is not obligatory, but it is highly recommended to make the act of fasting easier to perform.
Thus, sahur is not an obligation that determines the validity of the fast, but rather a highly encouraged sunnah practice.
Sahur holds a special place in the worship of fasting, as explained in various hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Here are some virtues of sahur:
Suhoor can be done at any time from midnight until just before dawn. However, in Islam, there is a recommendation to delay suhoor to be closer to the time of Fajr.
The best time to eat suhoor is about 15 minutes before dawn. This aims to avoid doubt about whether the time for suhoor is still available or has already ended.
Delaying suhoor is also in accordance with the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who said:
"My Ummah will always be in goodness as long as they hasten to break their fast and delay their suhoor." (HR. Ahmad)
Thus, delaying suhoor until close to dawn is the best way to gain maximum benefit from this sunnah.
Yes, the fast is still valid as long as the intention to fast is made before dawn.
Although the fast is valid, not having suhoor may result in a loss of blessings and stamina during fasting.
The fast is still valid, as long as the intention has been made before dawn.
No, suhoor is a highly recommended sunnah muakkadah, but it is not an obligation.
