Question

  What do respected scholars of Islam and Muftis of Shari’ah say about the following issue: During Wudu, if water goes down the throat by mistake in the state of Sawm, so does the Sawm become invalid or not?

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

  If a person is aware of his Sawm and water goes down his throat by mistake while he is rinsing his mouth, so the Sawm becomes invalid in this case. It is obligatory for him to observe its Qada. And, if a person is not aware of his Sawm, so the Sawm will not become invalid.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ  عَزَّوَجَلَّ  وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
