What is the ruling on the one who eats or drinks in the daytime of Ramadaan unintentionally?

𝐀𝐌𝐒𝐀❗️

His fast is still valid and nothing is upon him, based on the statement of Allaah (ﷻ) in the final verses of Sūrah al-Baqarah:

رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا

“Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or fall into error.”

(Al Baqarah, 2:286)

It is authentically narrated from the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) that Allaah (ﷻ) said (regarding this request):

“I have done so (answered your request).”

(Muslim, 126; reported by 'Abdullāh ibn 'Abbās)

Likewise, another proof is that which has been established from Abī Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever forgetfully eats or drinks whilst he is fasting, then he should continue his fast, as it was Allaah who fed him and gave him something to drink.”

(Agreed Upon, Al-Bukhārī, 1933, 6669; Muslim, 1155)

Therefore, the one who eats or drinks forgetfully, nothing is upon him, his fast is still valid.

However, if he remembers whilst eating, he should stop immediately and continue his fast for that day.

And Allah knows best
