[جواد عوض]

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال :
إذا نسي أحدكم فأكل أو شرب فليتم صومه فإنما أطعمه الله وسقاه
(متفق عليه)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"If any one of you forgetfully eats or drinks (while observing fasting) he should complete his Saum (fasting), for Allah has fed him and given him to drink.

This Hadith tells us of a kindness and convenience of Islam that during the Saum if a person inadvertently does any such thing which destroys his Saum, i.e., eating, drinking, cohabitation with wife, etc., his Saum will remain intact due to forgetfulness, provided one abandons the act as soon as he remembers that he is observing Saum . He needs not make any expiation for such a Saum.
