Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 209/209=M)

To have Sahri (meal before daybreak) is sunnah and a matter of reward and blessing, it supplies strength to the body for keeping fast. It has been encouraged in Hadith to eat Sahri. Now it is up to you whether achieve this reward or forsake it, the Shariah puts no pressure. However, keeping fast without having Sahri is valid.
