Drinking water one minute before the time of Sehri expires

· 24 Shawwal 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am keeping my shawwaal fasts. I had misread the ending time for sehri and thought it was 5:11. However in reality the time ended at 5:06 and fajr entry was 5:11. I stopped drinking water 1 minute before 5:11 because I had read sehri ends a minute before fajr entry. Is my fast valid. Do I have to repeat the fast?

Answer

If you drank the water before the time of sehri ended, your fast is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

When does sehri end and iftar begin?
