Ruling on the fast of one who eats or drinks forgetfully in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A question asks: What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast forgetfully during the day in Ramadan and completes the rest of the day fasting, and what is the ruling on one who breaks his fast forgetfully in a make-up fast, but also completes the rest of the day fasting?
Answer: If a fasting person eats or drinks forgetfully in Ramadan, or in a make-up fast for Ramadan, or in a vow, or in expiations, his fast is valid; he completes it and owes nothing; because it is established in the two Sahihs from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih Muslim 1155.
This is how it came in the two Sahihs, and this is among the most authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and in the other wording outside the two Sahihs, in al-Hakim and others:Bulugh al-Maram 5:21, this is the relied-upon position. Yes.

If anyone forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks he should complete his fast, for it is only Allah Who has fed him and given him drink.
من نسي وهو صائم فأكل أو شرب فليتم صومه، فإنما أطعمه الله وسقاهThis is how it came in the two Sahihs, and this is among the most authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and in the other wording outside the two Sahihs, in al-Hakim and others:
Whoever breaks his fast during Ramadan due to forgetfulness is not to make up for the day later or perform an expiation.
من أفطر في رمضان ناسياً فلا قضاء عليه ولا كفارة
