Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Whoever eats or drinks forgetfully while fasting, their fast is valid and they must complete it, whether the fast is obligatory, such as a vow, or supererogatory. This is based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever forgets while fasting and eats or drinks, let him complete his fast, for it was Allah who fed him and gave him drink."
