Eating After the Time for Suhoor has Ended (No-13315)
Assalamualaikum! Today, I checked the time for subah sadiq using a mobile app. I read the time as 4.57 am, so I proceeded to eat. However, upon rechecking, I realized that I had misread the time earlier. The correct time for subah sadiq was actually 4.45 am. This was due to my mistake in reading, and as a result, I continued eating until 4.53 am.
In this situation, should I continue my fast? It is now time for fajr at my place, a prompt reply would be appreciated. Jazakallah Khair!
The time for Suhoor is until subah sadiq (the break of dawn) occurs, as soon as subah sadiq occurs, the time for suhoor ends. Therefore, if someone eats or drinks after subah sadiq has occurred, their fast will be deemed invalid.
