Accidentally Ate During a Fast

Question

I woke up in the morning and forgot that today was a fast day. I drank coffee and ate cookies. Do I need to complete the fast until the stars come out and do I need to fast another day in compensation?

Answer

Hello and a good year. You should continue the fast as usual. There is no need to make up for the fast on another day.
