Mufti Menk – Ramadan 2023 Boost #06 – Accidental eating in Ramadan

			So in Milan, you have a choice. You can choose to read the color like every Ramadan, but as soon as
it comes, the Quran is abandoned, or you can get
		

			and join the challenge to create a habit at the same time
		

			Salam aleikum, my brothers and sisters the month of Mercy something amazing about it is that Allah
Almighty is not only merciful with regards to forgiveness and your supplications and the fasting
being so awesome and the prayers and so on, but rather his mercy extends to the mistakes that you
and I may make. While we are going through the paces in the month of Ramadan. For example, mon NESEA
Wahoo Asad Eman Akela O'Shea Reba falutin musoma Who for in nama Adama hula who was a Congo. The
Prophet peace be upon him speaks about a person who is eaten during the Ramadan during daytime out
of forgetfulness. You live on your own or even if you don't, at some point, you forgot that you were
		

			fasting, you put water to your mouth, you drank a sip, you had a bit of food, you might have sat and
had a whole meal, and then you realize, hey, Emma, I'm supposed to be fasting. It happens, it has
happened. It will always happen. These are mistakes. Listen to the wording of the Mercy of Allah,
this month of mercy. And this is the beauty of the fast and the forgiveness of Allah. So you know,
those sometimes with OCD, obviously, it's a problem. May Allah grant cure to all of us. But
sometimes some of these narrations are so helpful that they bring a smile to the face. Listen to
what the Prophet sallallaahu Salam says, Min NESEA whoever forgets well who saw him while he he or
		

			she is fasting, right? Wherever forgets while they're fasting. For Aquila O'Shea. So they ate the
person he ate or he drank, referring to she or a group or whoever else it may be a group meaning
sometimes they could be a chance that chances are diminished minute there's more than one person.
There are smaller but there's a possibility. So if the person eats or drinks for Achalasia, falutin
musoma, who they should complete the fast, they should not consider it broken. They should not
consider it null and void. Because listen to what the end says. Amazing. Amazing. Obviously, it's
forgetfulness, you forgot completely slip of the mind.
		

			You ate your drink, be it a little or a lot of full meal or just a sip.
		

			The hadith says for innama, a Bahama hula who was a car because indeed, Allah is the One who fed him
or quench his thirst. Allah was the one who decided I want to provide this person with some
sustenance, I'm going to make them forget in the going to have meals and then they're going to
remember once they're done that a I was fasting.
		

			Now Subhan Allah, that's the Mercy of Allah, they cannot be something greater than the Mercy of
Allah. Allah He it is something worth pondering over. That's why I always say any act of worship as
men, we are taught to do our best but human error will happen you will make mistakes I will make
mistakes those little blunders have always forgiven an excused by Allah, you've made will do and you
did it to the best of your ability move on don't start thinking did did this washed, if that washed
it because sometimes it can become a sickness. You can become obsessed with that. You know what you
did your best move on a little bit here and there is always forgiven by Allah subhanho wa taala. If
		

			it is out of human nature, as a human being, I cannot know certain things because I don't have eyes
behind my head. And sometimes my memory might fail me. A few other things might happen to me as a
human being I might think something is done and it's not really actually done. You know what Allah
Almighty knows best? That's what it is. So there are things like this where Allah has just let it be
and said, You know what, don't worry.
		

			You are fasting. You are not supposed to eat from morning to evening. You ate you had a full meal.
You You didn't remember you forgot about it. We still will consider that entire fast valid
		

			Subhanallah look at the prayer. You're supposed to wash yourself with water when you want to
cleanse. If there is no water you're allowed to use dust, dust imagine in order to arrive at a level
of purity
		

			squatty mo I can use the dirt and the dust on certain surfaces, right? In order to cleanse myself
and I know for a fact that I'm not clean with water. In fact, I know. You know what, that teaches us
a lot. It's the Mercy of Allah. Another point of the Mercy of Allah like you said in the past,
you're unwell. You're allowed to, you're allowed to fast on another day. And don't even feel bad
about it. It's a discount from Allah. You are unwell. You can fast on another day. You have the
choice if you are able to fast it fast. If you feel I'm able, but it's going to bother me affect my
fast fix my health sorry, because I am unwell. So marry this one as long as you're unwell. You can
		

			foster another day. When you're traveling. The same rule applies. You can fast on another day. It's
fine even if you've missed a few fasts, you know Subhan Allah Hara Bella Alameen thank Allah for His
mercy, beautiful month of Ramadan. Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
