Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: I was fasting to make up for Ramadan, so I went on a trip and forgot that I was fasting, and I ate and drank all day, and I did not remember until the end of the day. So is my fast valid, or do I have to make it up?
Answer:
Your fast is valid if it was forgetfulness, for forgetfulness does not invalidate the fast. It is a provision that Allah has sent to you. The one who forgets in the hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 1673Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.
The presenter:
If Allah wills. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

Whoever eats out of forgetfulness while fasting, let him complete his fast, for it is Allah Who has fed him and given him to drink.
من نسي فأكل أو شرب وهو صائم فليتم صومه، فإنما أطعمه الله وسقاه.The presenter:
If Allah wills. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
