Question:
What if you don’t eat anything and just keep the fast?
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
Suhoor is recommended but it is not compulsory.[1] Therefore it will be permissible to keep the fast by not eating anything.
But a Muslim should keep in mind that it is recommended to eat Suhoor. The Prophet (s.a.w) said, “Take Suhoor as there is a blessing in it.”[2]
Only Allah knows best
