Question
I fasted on Aashoora', but forgot during a moment of lunchtime rush - and ate a sandwich. Besides the lapse in memory, I had made my fasting intention and fasted all that day.
Was my fast accepted?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
The fast was valid.
And Allah knows best
Wassalam
