Tag: Valid fast

According to the majority of Islamic scholars, a fast remains permissible and valid even if one misses the pre-dawn meal, known as Suhoor. However, the act of taking Suhoor is considered a highly recommended Sunnah (practice of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) that should not be neglected intentionally.

Over 1.8 billion Muslims observe the holy month of Ramadan annually, but many are unaware of the core pillars that uphold their fast. A valid fast in Islam rests on two essential conditions: the sincere intention (`niyyah`) and abstaining from invalidating acts from dawn to sunset. Understanding these two conditions for fasting is crucial for every practicing Muslim.
