Breaking Fast forgetfully during the daytime in Ramadan

Q 4: What is the ruling on breaking the Fast forgetfully during the daytime in Ramadan?


A: Anyone who unintentionally breaks his Fast during the daytime in Ramadan should complete his Fast, and there is nothing wrong with him. Allah (Exalted be He) says: Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error (Part No. 9; Page No. 192) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If anyone eats or drinks forgetfully while fasting, he should complete his Sawm, for it was Allah (Exalted be He) Who fed him and gave him drink. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
