If one eats due to forgetfulness, a
mistake, or coercion, then he does not have to make up the day later or
perform any expiation.:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (pbuh)
said, "If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully then he should complete
his fast, for what he has eaten or drunk, has been given to him by
Allah." Narrated 'Amir bin Rabi'a, "I saw the Prophet (pbuh) cleaning
his teeth with Siwak while he was fasting so many times as I can't
count."
And narrated Abu Huraira, "The Prophet (pbuh)
said, 'But for my
fear that it would be hard for my followers, I would have ordered them
to clean their teeth with Siwak on every performance of ablution." The
same is narrated by Jabir and Zaid bin Khalid from the Prophet who did
not differentiate between a fasting and a nonfasting person in this
respect (using Siwak).
Aisha said, "The Prophet (pbuh) said,
"It (i.e. Siwak) is a purification for the mouth and it is a way of
seeking Allah's pleasures." Ata' and Qatada said, "There is no harm in
swallowing the resultant saliva."(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 31,
Number 154)
