Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Does the phrase "May Allah feed and water him" indicate the generality of sustenance, or is this feeding and watering specific to the one who is fasting?
Answer:
Allah is the Provider, Glorified and Exalted is He; He is the Provider with His strong, firm power. So whatever provision is obtained by any created being, whether humans, cattle, beasts, or insects, all of it is from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.[Hud 11:6] Look, Allah sends provision to insects in their burrows. Have you ever found insects dying in their burrows? Where does their provision come from? From Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. So Allah gives every created being its daily sustenance and it feeds on it, and this is from His mercy, His all-encompassing power, and His all-encompassing knowledge. So Allah never creates a created being and then lets it be lost. The provision is from Allah for the fasting person and for others, but He singled out the fasting person for this because his state is special, as he is prohibited from eating and drinking. However, if he eats or drinks while forgetting, that is from Allah; He led him to it. He led him to it. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
