The Ruling on One Who Smokes Forgetfully During the Day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man smoked during the day in Ramadan while forgetting. Does this break his fast?
Answer:
If he was forgetting, it does not break his fast. However, smoking is a sin, and he commits a sin for it in Ramadan and in other times, and it is more severe in Ramadan. The fasting person avoids what Allah has forbidden, and smoking is among what Allah the Exalted has forbidden. The Muslim avoids the forbidden always, in Ramadan and in other times. But if he forgot, he commits a sin for the smoking, but his fast is valid because he did not do it intentionally, despite the sin of his smoking and his disobedience. Yes.
