The answer

As long as the enquirer is unsure whether he took it or not, the default is the acquittal of responsibility, and nothing is binding on him. Indeed, Al-Izz ibn Abdus-Salam and Al-Juwayni mentioned that the default for anything whose obligation is uncertain is the acquittal of responsibility.
