How is the concept of the opposite (mukhalafah) answered in the hadith: (Whoever eats or drinks while forgetting, there is no making up for him)?

The questioner : How is the indication of the concept of the opposite (mukhalafah) answered in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as narrated by al-Daraqutni, which is an authentic hadith: ?

The Shaykh : What is the concept of the opposite (mukhalafah) that you mean?

The questioner : That whoever eats or drinks...

The Shaykh : This is the explicit wording of the hadith. What do you mean by the concept?

The questioner : Intentionally, in which case he must make up the fast and pay the expiation, as is apparent from the hadith.

The Shaykh : Ah, this concept means; be patient, may Allah reward you. There is a question here. First, it came in the hadith of the one who had intercourse with his wife in Ramadan that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to pay the expiation, and in some of the multiple narrations, it is stated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to make up that day. It is possible to apply the concept you referred to in the hadith of al-Daraqutni to this, for which there is a textual proof or argument, because the Wise Lawgiver only ordered the performance of every act of worship in its time to purify the hearts of the believing servants. For example, regarding prayer, when the Exalted said: , if a Muslim intentionally leaves the prayer and takes it out of its time, then wants to make it up, as they express it in some books of Islamic jurisprudence, this making up requires a specific proof. Otherwise, the Qur'anic text and the Prophetic hadiths similar to it would be meaningless and have no value, because it is the same for him whether he prayed at its time or prayed it after its time; his prayer would be accepted. Even if he may have sinned if he prayed it outside its time, the important thing is that he shares in the validity of the prayer with the one who maintained its performance in its time. There is a very big difference between the one who performed the prayer in its time and the one who performed it outside its time. This is first: he would be a sinner, unlike the first one who would be rewarded because he executed the divine command to maintain the performance of prayer in its time.
Second, it came in the authentic hadith the saying of he (peace and blessings be upon him): . If a person sleeps through the prayer or forgets it, then wakes up for it or remembers it, the time for this forgotten prayer or the one he slept through is to immediately perform it at the time of remembering. If he says to himself, "This prayer has passed its time, so I will pray it after I have finished preparing for it," then the second time that the Wise Lawgiver extended for him due to the excuse of sleep or forgetfulness has also passed, and he cannot make it up in any other time that he also intentionally wasted. If we know this, it becomes clear that timing the times is not a frivolous matter in which a person has the choice to maintain it or leave it, so they are never equal. For example, whoever performs the worship in its timed time, there is no doubt that his worship will be valid, provided that the remaining conditions and pillars are present. As for whoever neglects the condition, which is the condition of time, he needs a text for the one who says that he must perform that worship in another time. This is the case with the hadith of the one who had intercourse with his wife in Ramadan, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to pay the major expiation and additionally to make up that day which he broke by intercourse. We do not have a text that orders every intentional breaker of the fast, like the one who had intercourse, to make up the fast. Therefore, we say that the concept of the word "intentionally" in the hadith of al-Daraqutni has a limited indication regarding the hadith of the one who broke the fast by intercourse in Ramadan, and the concept of the rest has no effect or consideration. Yes.
