If Someone Who Ate Forgetfully During Fasting Was Reminded But Did Not Remember and Ate

Question
If someone who ate forgetfully during fasting was reminded but did not remember and ate?
Answer

His fast is invalidated according to the correct opinion, and he must make it up without expiation according to the preferred view; because a single report in religious matters is accepted, so he should have considered the situation due to the presence of the reminder, as mentioned in 'Al-Durr al-Mukhtar' and 'Radd al-Muhtar' 2: 97, and 'Al-Hadiya al-Alaiya' p. 160.
