Reminding the fasting person who forgets when he eats or drinks

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a fasting person forgets and ends up eating, should one be present and 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 whose body is [garbled] and he takes a cup to drink, or if he is present for lunch to eat, is it permissible for you to remain silent and let him eat? He is excused if no one informs him, but if he is informed, his excuse is removed. So what the soul finds peace in is that one should remind him.
