Question
Is taking a meal before commencing a fast (suhur) necessary in order for a fast to be valid?
Answer
No, Suhur is not necessary. However, it is a virtuous act of Sunnah that should not be missed unnecessarily.
Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Jamiatul Ulama KZN. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
