The ruling on seeing a fasting person eat or drink while forgetting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I know that a person is fasting, but I see him drinking while forgetting, should I remind him or stay silent?
Answer:
Yes, remind him; because it is not permissible for a fasting person to drink or eat. So if he makes a mistake, remind him. Even though he does not sin by forgetting, and he does not have to make up the fast, his consuming drink and food while fasting is a reprehensible matter if he did it intentionally. So you remind him of that so that he refrains from this thing that Allah has forbidden him from. And you are his brother, calling him to good, commanding what is right, and forbidding what is wrong. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
