Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A listener asks: What is the ruling on one who drinks or eats during the day of Ramadan while forgetting? Does he have to make up that day? Or how should he act? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
And he is fasting, so his fast is valid for Ramadan, even if he ate or drank out of forgetfulness. This is based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1155 and the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:286] and the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “Mistake, forgetfulness, and compulsion are lifted from my Ummah.”

Answer:

forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks he should complete his fast, for it is only Allah Who has fed him and given him drink.
نسي فأكل أو شرب فليتم صومه فإن ذا أطعمه الله وسقاهOur Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
