Question
Assalamualaikum
Can I keep a qadha fast/nafl fast/sunnah fast by drinking just water in Suhoor?
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 fast by only drinking water in Suhoor although it is recommended to eat.
The Prophet (s.a.w) said, “Take Suhoor as there is a blessing in it.”[2]
Only Allah knows best
