It is sufficient for the to only drink water, even though it is better to eat something. Its virtue is achieved by drinking water, and its virtue is perfected by eating; as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The suhoor is a blessed meal, so do not abandon it, even if one of you only takes a sip of water. Indeed, Allah Almighty and His angels send blessings upon those who partake in thehoor."
