The ruling on reminding a fasting person who forgot and ate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The presenter says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, if a fasting person forgets and eats, should one be present to remind him?
Answer:
Some scholars say one should not remind him, but the correct view is that one should remind him. If you see a person taking a cup intending to drink, or intending to eat, or having lunch, or eating, or doing whatever, let him eat, and excuse him if no one informed him. But if someone did inform him and he said, "Excuse me," then what the soul is reassured by is that one should remind him. Yes.
