Reminding the Fasting Person Who Eats or Drinks Out of Forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks and says: If I see a fasting person eating and drinking while he is forgetful, is it obligatory for me to remind him? And what is the basis for the statement that he should not be reminded, because it is Allah who fed him and gave him drink?
Answer:
The scholars differ on this, but the stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that you alert him as long as he is mistaken and forgetful; you alert him. This is the closest view, and Allah knows best, because you do not approve of his error. You do not approve of his error, so you alert him to it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
