Does nocturnal emission invalidate fasting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, if a person has a nocturnal emission while fasting, does his fast remain valid or is it broken, if it is in Ramadan?
The Shaykh : Was this by his choice?
The questioner : It was not by his choice.
The Shaykh : Well, the conditions for the things that invalidate fasting are three: that one is remembering, aware, and intending. Do you understand?
The questioner : So his fast remains valid?
The Shaykh : Yes, it remains valid. Anything that a person does while forgetting, being ignorant, or without his choice, he owes nothing for it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Do you understand?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good
The Shaykh : If you eat while forgetting, does it invalidate your fast or not? If you are ignorant and think the sun has set, it does not invalidate it. If you rinsed your mouth and water entered your stomach without intention, it does not invalidate it. If you know these conditions, you are at ease. Yes, after him, the one on the left. Well.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, from the students, my brother. Glory be to Allah, leave those who prefer themselves over others, even if they are in need. Yes, the man lied, we did not know. Let us move to the one after him.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I came and the imam was bowing.
