Question
Someone licked an ice pop several times on the Fast of Esther. Should they continue fasting or complete it?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
One must continue fasting.
Even if one mistakenly drank, they must continue fasting.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 568, Se'if 1
If one vowed to fast on this day and forgot and ate, they must complete their fast; the same applies if it was a fast due to a dream or a public fast.
