Ramadan Series 🌙 | The Conditions that must be Fulfilled in order for something to actually break the fast 

The Conditions that must be Fulfilled in order for something to actually break the fast 

The First Condition: To commit these nullifiers knowingly. If you committed them unknowingly you will not be held accountable for it, because of Allah’s statement :

"There is nothing wrong on you regarding the things that you do by mistake except the things that you do intentionally, and He Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful”  

[Al-Ahzab : 5]

The Second Condition: That a person must remember (he is fasting). If a person eats due to forgetfulness his fast is still valid, and he does not have to make it up. The proof for this is what is previously mentioned in Al-Baqarah as well as the hadith which is narrated by Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah صلی الله علیه وسلم said :

"Whoever ate while fasting out of forgetfulness or drank then he should complete his fast for verily it is Allih who fed him and gave him drink”

[Collected by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The Third Condition: Breaking one’s fast willingly, meaning he chooses out of his own free-will to break his fast. However, if a fasting person is (forcefully) compelled to break the fast, his fast is still valid. Surely Allah has pardoned the individual who is compelled to disbelieve as long as his heart is at rest with true faith. (This is found) in Allah’s statement: 

“Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with Faith” 

[An-Nahl : 106]
