Is it permissible to complete a voluntary fast after having eaten and drunk, thinking that the time for abstaining had not yet begun, only to then realize that the sun had already risen?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If someone eats or drinks after the dawn breaks, thinking that the night still remains, then they must make up that day if the fast was obligatory. However, if it was a supererogatory fast, then making it up is recommended but not obligatory.
