The ruling on a fasting person who eats, drinks, or has intercourse while forgetting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who eats while he is forgetting and he is fasting?
Answer:
He owes nothing; no expiation, and no making up the fast.
Q: And if he has intercourse while he is forgetting?
A: The correct view is that his fast is valid, and he owes no expiation. Some scholars excluded intercourse from this ruling, but there is no evidence for that. For this reason, in the other wording:Bulugh al-Maram 5:21.
Q: If I see him drinking while he is forgetting?
A: You should remind him; because it is wrong. If you see someone drinking during fasting or eating, remind him: "You are fasting." Inform him, and disapprove of his action.

Whoever breaks his fast during Ramadan due to forgetfulness is not to make up for the day later or perform an expiation.
