What is the ruling on a child drinking while asleep after the dawn (Fajr) athan during the days of Ramadan?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The mother must help her adult son fulfill the obligation of fasting and maintain his health by preventing him from consuming things that break the fast while he is asleep, by placing them in a hard-to-reach place. He does not have to make up what he drank in his sleep because the pen is lifted from the sleeper. And if he has not reached puberty, the matter is easier. Whoever deliberately leaves a fasting person consuming things that break the fast without alerting him, he is sinful for neglecting to enjoin good.
