The ruling on one who eats or drinks while fasting out of forgetfulness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I was fasting, then I forgot and drank water. Do I complete my fast or break it?

Answer:
If one forgets, whether it is a voluntary or obligatory fast, and he drinks or eats, his fast is valid. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If anyone forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks he should complete his fast, for it is only Allah Who has fed him and given him drink.من نسي وهو صائم فاكل او شرب فليتم صومه فانما اطعمه الله سقاه
Sahih Muslim 1155
. Yes.
