Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person intends to fast voluntarily, and he makes that intention during the night, then after the Fajr prayer he forgets that he had intended to fast, so he eats and drinks, and then he remembers afterward, is it permissible for him to abstain?

Answer:
He ate and drank after the dawn, so the fast is finished; it is over, because he ate and drank intentionally.
