During the first few days of Ramazan it is very common for some people to forget that they are fasting so they eat food and drink water unintentionally but does it break the fast (roza)?
When this was asked to Dr. Zakir Naik eh explained that eating or drinking anything unintentionally doesn’t affect the fasting.
As our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said that: “If a fasting person eats forgetfully, it is only provision Allah put forth to him and there is no makeup upon him.” (Bukhari)
Which means that if someone eats or drinks something after forgetting that he was fasting then he should continue the fast. Whatever someone has eaten unintentionally is a provision from Allah as Prophet (Pbuh) has said.
This question was also asked to the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, Maulana Ilyas Qadri who also answered that eating and drinking unintentionally doesn’t breaks the fasting.
