Conditions for the invalidators of fasting to take effect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
These invalidators do not break the fast unless the person fasting is aware, knowledgeable, and intentional. If he is knowledgeable, knowing that this is an invalidator, aware and not forgetful, and intentional, having not done it without intent but rather did it on purpose,Three conditions: The first condition is that he be knowledgeable, and the opposite of knowledge is ignorance. If he is ignorant and does not know that this breaks the fast, or is ignorant and does not know that the dawn has appeared, then his fast is not invalidated; his fast remains valid.By the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Surat al-Baqarah: 286] Allah said: You have done it.
And by the saying of Allah, the Exalted: [al-Ahzab: 5] And he did not do it intentionally.
The second: That he be aware, and the opposite of awareness is forgetfulness. If he eats or drinks while forgetting that he is fasting, he owes nothing.because of His saying, the Exalted: [al-Baqarah: 286] And because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever forgets while fasting and eats or drinks, let him complete his fast, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink” However, it is obligatory for the ignorant person, once he knows, to abstain, and for the forgetful person, once he remembers, to abstain. Even if the mouthful is in his mouth or the sip is in his mouth, he must spit it out, due to the removal of the ignorance or forgetfulness.
The third: That he be intentional, and the opposite of intention is one who did not intend. For example, a person who performs wudu and gargles, and water goes down into his stomach without his intention, his fast is not invalidated.because of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [al-Ahzab: 5] And this man did not intend it; rather, it was forced upon him. Likewise, the coerced person: if a man coerces his wife and has intercourse with her while she is fasting, her fast is not invalidated; because she is coerced and unable to extricate herself.
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاAnd by the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended
وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا أَخْطَأْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ مَا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْThe second: That he be aware, and the opposite of awareness is forgetfulness. If he eats or drinks while forgetting that he is fasting, he owes nothing.because of His saying, the Exalted:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
