Does forgetting and eating or drinking break the fast?
Forgetting and eating does not break the fast.
SIA conducted an investigation into the matter and studied the views of religious figures.
Religious figure Mirjafar Ayyubov:
"Swallowing does not invalidate the fast. It is a food that invalidates fasting. It doesn't matter what you eat. Whether you eat bread or soil, the fast is broken.
Generally, fasting is invalidated if something goes out of the esophagus. When it comes to drinking, it does not matter whether he drinks halal or haraam drinks. Drinking invalidates fasting.
Relationships between men and women invalidate fasting. It is not permissible to fast without ghusl. Because then fasting becomes invalid. Enamel with liquids invalidates the fast.
Swallowing or swallowing the saliva does not invalidate the fast. The Shari'ah does not oppress a person, it simply imposes prohibitions that a person can do.
If you pour medicine into the eyes or nose, it will not brake the fast if it does not go down the throat, but if it does it invalidates the fast. If someone has a headache, do not take medicine, if you takes medicine, fast will be invalid. Get medicine injected instead.
Teeth removal is possible if something does not go down the throat. It is not recommended to take a bath while fasting, because they weaken a person and make him impatient when he weakens. But there is nothing wrong with taking a bath, as long as there is no water in the mouth. But you can't put your head under the whole water and swim in the pool. There is nothing wrong with getting blood tested if it is small amount. But practical blood transfusions can weaken a person. Therefore, it is not recommended.
Sleep does not invalidate fasting. Going on a journey invalidates the fast, and then one day you will have to have an accident fast.
Haji Ibrahim Guliyev, a teacher at the Azerbaijan Theological Institute:
"Fasting is one of the most important rituals in Islamic law. Therefore, there are some fasts in other months of the year, especially Ramadan. However, fasting in Ramadan is considered an important fast, because the Qur'an, the Sunnah and the hadiths of our Prophet state that If anyone reaches the month of Ramadan, he should fast this month. Therefore, there are some laws in the books of Shari'ah regarding the month of Ramadan.
It is better for those who fast to learn and follow these rules. Otherwise, their fasts will be invalid without their knowledge. There are several deeds that invalidate fasting. If a person does this intentionally, his fast will surely be broken.
It is better for a person to break those fasts after Ramadan. If a person who is fasting deliberately eats or drinks something, their fast is certainly broken. Anything passed from the esophagus to the stomach invalidates the fast.
However, if a person who is fasting eats or drinks something by mistake, his fast will certainly not be invalidated. A person who breaks his fast by mistake must remove the food from his mouth as soon as he hears the dawn call to prayer. If he swallows intentionally, his fast will still be invalidated.
In fact, this is such a delicate matter that Islamic sources state that if any of the crumbs left between the fasting tooth, such as bread, meat crumbs, etc., are removed. If he swallows it, his fast will still be invalidated. However, swallowing saliva, imagining sour things and swallowing them while the mouth is wet does not invalidate the fast.
In addition, sexual intercourse invalidates the fast. Lying is a sin in Islam. Lying under normal circumstances does not invalidate the fast. However, to say a verse that does not exist in the name of Allah, for example, in the Qur'an, as if it were in the Qur'an, or to deliberately recite a hadith in the name of our Prophet (pbuh) that he did not narrate, would invalidate the fast.
Most scientists have come to the conclusion that if a person inhales solid dust, such as a hookah, cigarette, etc. the fast of those people is broken. Drowning the head completely, hitting the skull in places such as rivers, seas, and pools, is called immersing the whole body in water. However, bathing in the bath or pouring water on a person's head with any object will certainly not break the fast.
Of course, some other issues are monthly issues related to women and so on. These also break the fast. If a person intentionally vomits while fasting, his fast is void. "
