delaying sehri

[Muhammad Shoaib]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Imam sahib,

can the sehri be delayed by a few minutes if someone gets up very late

is this better than not waking up

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam



Jazak'allah for your question. In the event of you getting up very late, and if the sehri is delayed by one or two minutes, then it does not really matter, but certainly no more than that.


Sehri is the sunnah of the Most Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, and has great reward. It is better to do a sehri, than not to get up at all. Even though it may be one or two minutes late.
