Fasting: Missed Suḥūr and Couldn’t Fast — Who Bears the Blame, and Is the Fast Valid Without Suḥūr?
English:
Question #828:
Despite having intended to fast, a person did not rise to eat the prefast meal. Therefore he could not fast the following day. Does the guilt for not fasting fall on him or on someone who did not wake him up? Also, if one fasts without eating the prefast meal, is his fast valid?
Answer #828:
In this case, others are not liable to anything. Also, fasting without eating the prefast meal is valid.
