Question:
A person placed betel-leaf in his mouth at sehr3 time and slept away.
He woke up after sunrise. Does he have to keep qada and kaffarah?
Answer:
The fast will be invalidated and only qadawill be wajib because some
taste must have certainly gone down his throat. Eating and drinking
while asleep makes qada wajib and not kaffarah.
If a person places betel-leaf in his mouth and falls asleep, and it
remained in his mouth until the morning, his fast will break.1
Bahishti Zewar:
A person placed betel-leaf in his mouth and fell asleep. He woke up
after sunrise. His fast is not valid. He must keep qada but there is no
kaffara.2
Allah ta‛ala knows best.
