1-Intentional
eating or drinking:
If
one eats due to forgetfulness, a mistake, or coercion, then he does not
have to make up the day later or perform any expiation. Abu Hurairah
reported that the Prophet said: “Whoever forgets he is fasting, and
eats or drinks is to complete his fast, as it was Allah who fed him
and gave him something to drink.” (Related by the group.)
Commenting
on it, At-Tirmidhi says: “Most of the scholars act according to this
Hadith. It is the opinion of Sufyan Ath-Thauri, Ash-Shafi’i,
Ahmad, and Ishaq.”
Abu
Hanifah reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,
said: “Whoever breaks his fast during Ramadan due to forgetfulness is
not to make up the day later or to perform any expiation.”
(Related by Ad-Daraqutni, Al-Baihaqi, and Al-Hakim, who says that it is
Authentic according to Muslim's criterion.)
Ibn
`Abbas reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
“Allah will not hold anyone of this nation responsible for what is
done in error, forgetfulness or under coercion.” (Related by Ibn
Majah, At-Tabarani, and Al-Hakim.)
2-Intentional
vomiting:
If
one is overcome and vomits unintentionally, he does not have to make up
the day later on or offer anything as an expiation. Abu Hurairah
reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
“Whoever is overcome and vomits is not to make up the day. Whoever
vomits intentionally must make up the day.” (Related by Ahmad, Abu
Dawud, At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban, Ad-Daraqutni, and
Al-Hakim.) If one vomits unintentionally he is not in need of
making up the day, while one who vomits intentionally must make up the
day later."
3-
The menses and post-childbirth bleeding:
Even
if such bleeding begins just before the sunset, the fast of that day is
rendered void and the day must be made up. There is a consensus of
scholars on this point.
4-
Ejaculation of sperm:
Ejaculation
voids the fast even if it was just due to kissing, hugging, or
masturbation, and the day must be made up. If the ejaculation was
due to looking at or thinking about something, then it is like having a
wet dream during the day and it, therefore, does not void the fast
nor is there any requirement on the person.
