Eating and drinking something on suspicion of invalidation of Sawm(fast) |

Question |
What do respected scholars of Islam and Muftis of Shari’ah say about the following issue: A person vomits involuntarily and assumes that his Sawm [fast] has now become invalid. Therefore, he begins to eat and drink things. The question is, whether only Qada of the Sawm is obligatory for such a person or he will have to perform Kaffarah(expiation) as well? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
In the situation
mentioned in the question, only Qada is obligatory, there is no
Kaffarah(expiation). However, even after invalidating his Sawm by
deliberately eating food after the vomit, he was not allowed by Shari’ah to
eat and drink anything. Because if the Sawm of a person becomes invalid even
by mistake, he is not allowed to eat and drink anything in view of the
sacredness of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak. Instead, it is obligatory for him to remain
like Sawm-observing people. Therefore, he must also repent of this sin. |
