Is the fasting of one who was forced to eat and drink in the daytime during Ramadan considered valid, taking into account their threat of losing their job or imprisonment?

Muslims must show patience and steadfastness in times of tribulation, for it is Allah's way. The one who is coerced is not held accountable for what they committed under duress. Thus, whoever is coerced into breaking their fast, their fasting is valid and no compensatory fast (qada') is required of them, based on the Almighty's saying: (Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief, except him who is compelled thereto, and his heart is at rest with faith) and the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: (Indeed, Allah has overlooked for my Ummah their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into.)

Shaykh Abd al-Rahman al-Barrak said: "They should abstain when observers are absent, and eat when they are being watched, only as much as repels harm from them. Their fasting is valid, and no compensatory fast (qada') is required of them."
