In his first question, he says: It is well known that if a fasting person eats while forgetting, he owes nothing. Does this apply only to the obligatory fast? Or does it apply to fasting in general? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It applies to fasting in general, whether obligatory or voluntary, in Ramadan or otherwise. If he eats while forgetting, or drinks while forgetting, his fast is valid, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
