The Ruling on Eating While Forgetting in Obligatory and Voluntary Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from the Arab Republic of Egypt says: I know that if one forgets and eats or drinks in Ramadan, his fast is valid. Is the situation the same if this fasting is voluntary?
Answer:
Yes. In both obligatory and voluntary fasting, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1155 This covers both obligatory and voluntary fasting, and this is from the mercy of Allah, as He said (Exalted and Majestic is He): [al-Baqarah:286] And it is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: And praise be to Allah, yes.

Answer:
Yes. In both obligatory and voluntary fasting, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
