Mubeen Kamani – Will eating out of forgetfulness break your fast

Sometimes when we're fasting,

what ends up happening is that

you see some water, you see some food,

and you forget. And maybe you might take

some sip of water or eat some food.

Or as you're feeding your younger child,

you take a bite as well out of

habit.

And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam tells

us,

whoever

eats or drinks forgetfully

whoever eats or drinks forgetfully while they're fasting,

then before you stop that person, let them

finish.

Why? Because it's Allah

that has given them this food and water.

It's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who has fed

them. It's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala giving them

this water.

And this shows you the mercy that our

religion has.

This religion is based upon

compassion and mercy,

and Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala wants to make things

easy for you,

and doesn't want to make things difficult for

you.
