Question
Hello Rabbi, I woke up in the morning on the fast day and forgot that it was a fast day, and I drank a glass of water. Is there any point in continuing the fast?
Answer
Hello,
Since it is forbidden to eat and drink on a fast day, even if you mistakenly drank, it does not cancel the obligation to fast. Therefore, you should continue fasting as usual until nightfall.
For atonement for the prohibition you transgressed inadvertently, you should study the laws of fasting.
