The pre-dawn meal before fasting, known as *sahur*, is a common practice among Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan. While it's considered *sunnah* (recommended) rather than obligatory in Islamic law, it's widely observed.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) indicated that the best time for *sahur* is in the last third of the night, before dawn. So, what are the preferred *sahur* times among Indonesians?
According to a survey by Kurious-Katadata Insight Center (KIC), the majority of respondents (40.7%) eat *sahur* between 3:00 AM and 3:30 AM.
Furthermore, 33.9% of respondents considered the ideal *sahur* time to be between 3:30 AM and 4:00 AM. Another 11.4% believed the best time was just before dawn, between 4:00 AM and 4:30 AM.
11.2% of respondents chose the 2:30 AM to 3:00 AM time slot. The smallest percentage, 2.8%, opted for *sahur* between 2:00 AM and 2:30 AM.
The Kurious-KIC survey involved 599 respondents across various regions of Indonesia, with 48.2% male and 52.8% female respondents.
Over half of the respondents (63.8%) were from Java (excluding Jakarta), followed by Jakarta (15.7%) and Sumatra (10.4%). Respondents from Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.3% to 4.3%.
Most respondents were aged between 35 and 44 years old (33.4%), followed by the 25-34 age group (29.9%) and the 45-54 age group (20.2%).
The survey was conducted from March 24 to 31, 2023, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI), with a margin of error of approximately 4% and a 95% confidence level.
