Best Time for Suhoor – Dr Zakir Naik
RDDZ-8-5
Yusuf Chambers: Thank you very much for your answer. Dr. Zakir is there any specific time for taking the Suhoor mentioned in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) ?
Dr. Zakir: As far as the Suhoor is concerned.. Suhoor is the pre dawn meal it can be taken any time from midnight up to just before the break of dawn.
And as the Quran says which is mentioned earlier in Surah Baqarah ch. no. 2 verse no. 187
“Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread”
So you can have the Suhoor anytime from midnight up to the break of dawn. But according to the Sunnah of the Prophet it is preferable to delay the Suhoor as late as possible and just before the break of dawn, that is preferable. And there are various Hadith mentioned about that.
There is a Hadith which is mentioned in Musannaf Ibn (Abi) Shaibah (Vol no. 2) Hadith no. 9057
“Where a man tells Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that he had the Suhoor till he doubted it was the break of dawn. The moment he hands a doubt, it was the break of dawn he stopped.”
So Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, he said that keep on having the meal until the doubt is clarified that the dawn has been broken”
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, said its mentioned in
Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 3 in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 1921
“Zaid bin Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him, he said that after he had Suhoor with the Prophet, he went for Salaah and then he asked the Prophet what is the time difference between the Suhoor and the Adhaan. So The Prophet replied it is equal to the time required to recite 50 verses of the Qur’an”
Further it’s mentioned in Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 3 in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 1918 and Hadith no. 1919 where Hazrat Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, she said that
“The Prophet said that when you hear the Adhaan, when you hear Bilal, may Allah be pleased with her, pronounce the call for prayer, pronounce the Adhaan, please don’t get deceived by it, continue eating and drinking until you hear the Adhaan of Ibn Umm-e-Maktoom for he does not pronounce the Adhaan until it is dawn”
That means you can eat till dawn. That’s the time for Suhoor. But there are various Hadith talking about the Sunnah of delaying the Suhoor.
Its mentioned in Sahih Al Jaami Vol. no. 1 Hadith no. 2835 where our beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), said that
“You should hasten in breaking the fast and delay in having the Suhoor.”
It’s further mentioned in a Sahih Hadith of Al Baihaqi (Book of Fasting) Hadith no. 8127 that
“The Sahabas, they were the first to break their fast and they were the last to do their Suhoor”
Further it’s mentioned in a Sahih Hadith of
Al Baihaqi (Book of Fasting) Hadith no. 8125 in which Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) , said that
“We Prophets have been commanded that we should be the first to break the fast and the last to take the Suhoor and place our right hand over the left when we offer Salaah”
So based on these Ahadith it shows that Suhoor can be had from anytime between midnight to the break of dawn but it is preferable delaying the Suhoor.
