النسيان وأثره في الصيام: دراسة فقهية

Abstract EN

It is agreed upon among jurists that forgetfulness is recurrent in fasting, a fact which has been mentioned by manyjurists, in “Bada’eil as-Sana’ei‘”, a book on Islamic jurisprudence, where it is stated that: “Forgetfulness, in relation to the discussion of fasting happens frequently, and cannot be avoided without difficulty.

Therefore, excuse- in matters of fasting- is accepted to avoid inconvenience.” Since this is the case, l found it proper to write about this subject, where l discussed the most prominent issues of fasting in which forgetfulness takes place.

Hence, l mentioned the consequence of forgetfulness on the intention of fasting in both obligatory and voluntary fasting.

Then, l elaborated on forgetfulness of pre-stating the intention to fast consecutive days and other related issues, the difference between those who distinguished between forgetfulness of the intention to fast the first day, and forgetfulness of the intention to fast the subsequent days in consecutive fasting, and its consequence on what breaks it, paying attention to the documentation and highlighting the views of jurists on this issue.
