Question :

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on eating or drinking forgetfully while observing the kaffarah fasting?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

If someone eats or drinks out of forgetfulness while fasting, it is simply that Allah has fed them and given them drink. Their fast is not broken by this; rather, they should continue fasting. This ruling applies whether the fast is an obligatory one (like Ramadan), a make-up fast (Qada), an expiation (Kaffarah), or a voluntary (Nafal) fast. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
