Eating or
Drinking Forgetf fully whileFasting What is the ruling on eating or
drinking forgetfully while fasting? If one
sees a fasting person reaching for somet
thing to eat or drink during the fasting
hours, should one remind him or not?
Eating or drinking forgetfully while fasting
does not render fasting invalid. However, if
one remembers that one is fasting, one must
stop eating or drinking immediately. If the
bite or drink is still in the mouth, it
should be spit out immediately. The proof of
the validity of the fast of such a person is
indicated in the statement of Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) as reported by
Muslim: “If someone has forgotten and has
eaten or drunk while fasti ing, he should
complete his fast. It is actually Allah who
has provided him with food and drink.”
