Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between obligatory fasting and voluntary fasting? Some people say that if a person eats or drinks while fasting a voluntary fast, he breaks his fast and does not complete it, unlike obligatory fasting. Is this correct?
Answer:
There is no basis for this statement. Voluntary fasting and obligatory fasting, if one forgets and eats, his fast is valid; it is not invalidated by eating while forgetting or drinking while forgetting. Yes.
