Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: If the time for suhoor (pre-dawn meal) is becoming short and the adhan (call to prayer) for Fajr begins at its proper time of dawn, it is permissible for a person to drink water and take a few morsels of food. However, it will not be correct to sip beverages like tea in this situation.
