Reminding the Fasting Person Who Forgets and Eats or Drinks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does one break the fast and remind the fasting person if he forgets and breaks his fast?
Answer:
Some scholars say he should not be reminded, but the correct view is that he should be reminded. If you see someone who has forgotten and is taking a glass to drink, do you stay silent? You remind him. Or if he is about to eat, and lunch is served and he is eating, is it permissible for you to stay silent and let him eat? He is excused if no one informs him, but if someone informs him, his excuse is gone. What the soul finds peace with is that he should be reminded. Yes.
