The questioner : A person who did not remember the day of 'Ashura until during the day: is it valid for him to abstain for the rest of the day, given that he ate at the beginning of the day? I hope you will provide me with information on this?
The Shaykh : If he abstains for the rest of the day, his fast is not valid. This is because he ate at the beginning of the day. A voluntary fast is only valid from the middle of the day for one who did not consume anything that breaks the fast at the beginning of the day. As for one who consumed something that breaks the fast at the beginning of the day, his intention to fast by abstaining for the rest of the day is not valid.
Accordingly, his abstention does not benefit him as long as he has eaten or drunk or done something that breaks the fast at the beginning of the day. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
