It
is sunnah to take sehri
To take sehri is Sunnah, if a person is not hungry, and does
not feel like eating, even then he should at least eat a few
dates or anything else no matter how little it may be. If
he does not want to have anything at all, he should at least
drink some water.
Did
not wake up in sehri
If any one did not wake up for sehri and all the members of
the household went on sleeping, they should keep fast without
having sehri. To give up the fast on account of not taking
sehri is a sign of spiritlessness and also a major sin.
Taking
Sehri at doubtful time
If a person got late to such an extent that there is doubt
of crack of dawn, then it is sin to eat or drink anything.
Moreover, if he had learnt that it was already the time of
dawn, he will have to offer Qadah of that fast. But if he
had not learnt about dawn and there is only doubt, then it
will not be wajib (compulsory) to keep the qadah fast. However,
it prudence demands that he should keep qadah of that fast.
What
is preferable to make iftar with?
It is preferable to make iftar with dates, or any other sweet
substance. And if it is not available, he should make iftar
with water. Some people make iftar with salt and regard this
to be an act of reward, this is an incorrect belief.
