A Doubt About Sehri Being Over or Not

Last updated on February 14th, 2026 at 08:40 am

1. If one was delayed in making sehri (having sahoor) and one feared that sehri time may be over, then it is Makrooh to eat anything.
2. If one ate or drank anything when there was a possibility of it already being Fajr time, then this was wrong and sinful.
3. If, later, it is ascertained that Fajr had indeed started, then keep the Qadha of that fast.
4. And if one could not ascertain whether the time of sehri was over or not, and one remained in a doubt, then it is not waajib to keep a Qadha.
5. However, caution demands that the fast of that day be repeated.
