Taking medicine while fasting, forgetting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I said to that Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), I woke up today after the dawn prayer and after the prayer, I took the medicine, forgetting that I was fasting on the thirteenth day, then I remembered my fast, so is my fast valid?

Answer:
Yes, if she was forgetting, even if she ate or drank while forgetting, her fast is valid. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
If anyone forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks he should complete his fastمن نسي وهو صائم، فأكل أو شرب فليتم صومه
Sahih Muslim 1155
. So if she was forgetting, her fast is valid.
