Should the Wife Remind her Husband who in Forgetfulness Requests Water for Drinking while he is Fasting? – Dr Zakir Naik
RDDZ-8-12
Yusuf Chambers: Dr. Zakir next question, question 4, there is a Hadith which mentions that if a person eats or drinks forgetfully then Allah has provided him with food and drink. Last Ramadhaan while I was fasting my husband requested me a glass of water not realizing that he was fasting, I severed him with a glass of water and he drank. Should I have reminded him that he was fasting or consider it a provision from Allah?
Dr. Zakir: The questioner has rightly mentioned that the beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) its mentioned in
Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 3 in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 1933, the beloved Prophet said that
“If a person unintentionally or out of forgetfulness while fasting has something to eat or drink, he should complete his fast and what he has eaten and what he drank, he should think it’s from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.”
So but a person who has unintentionally or out of forgetfulness, it is totally valid he should complete the fast but here the husband has forgotten, the wife knew it very well. What the wife should have done was she should have reminded the husband because the Qur’an says in
Surah Ale Imran ch. 3 verse no. 110
“ta/muroona bialmaAAroofi watanhawna AAani almunkar”
“Enjoin what is good and forbid what is bad and believe in Allah.”
So here it was the duty of the wife to remind the husband that he was fasting. And Quran says that
“wataAAawanoo AAala albirri waalttaqwa”
that
“You have to help each other in good deed, goodness and righteousness.”
So here it was the duty of the wife because she knew that the husband was fasting. If she did not know and she gave it she will be forgiven but because knowing very well that the husband was fasting she purposefully gave it to him. I feel what she had done is wrong. It’s a sin. But as far as the husband is concerned he asked for water not knowing that he was fasting, his fast would be accepted, it would be completed and that’s a provision from Allah. But she should have reminded him. So she is at fault, the husband is not at fault.
