The ignorant fasting person who breaks the fast and making up the fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
His statement that the fasting person is not excused if he does so when he is aware.
The Shaykh:
This is a voluntary statement. Because it is forbidden for the believer to eat or drink while fasting, so if he was ignorant of that, it is an excuse from sin, but not from making up the fast. So he must make it up. As for the sin, if he did not intend it, like those who broke their fast on the day of the eclipse in Sha'ban, thinking it was still Sha'ban, then it turned out to be Ramadan, there is no sin on them, but they must make up the fast. Similarly, if one breaks his fast thinking the sun has set, then it turns out it has not, or if he thinks the dawn has not appeared, then it turns out it has, and he ate during the day, he must make it up, and there is no sin because he did not intentionally disobey the command of Allah.
The questioner:
If one commits a fast-breaker and did not know that it is a fast-breaker, does he make it up?
The Shaykh:
He must make it up. Yes, yes, yes.
The questioner:
Ibn 'Abbas was in the end, so the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas abrogates the hadith of Shaddad.
The Shaykh:
This is the area of the disbeliever and the courtyard, first, then the prohibition of entering. Yes.
