The ruling on the fasting of one who slept and did not wake up for the pre-dawn meal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe, O Shaykh. If a person sleeps for a whole night and does not wake up until after the dawn has appeared, what is the ruling on this man's fast?
Answer:
If he intended to fast from the night and did not wake up for the pre-dawn meal, he remains with his intention and completes his fast. His fast is valid because the intention is present and he went to sleep with it, but sleep overtook him and he did not wake up for the pre-dawn meal. So his fast is valid as an obligatory fast if he continues with his fasting.
