The Ruling on a Faster Who Had Intercourse Forgetfully

Question
What is the ruling on a faster who had intercourse forgetfully?
Answer

If the one who had intercourse forgetfully withdraws immediately upon remembering that he is fasting, then his fast is not invalidated, even if he ejaculates after withdrawing; because it is like wet dreams. However, if he remains without withdrawing and does not move, he must make up the fast. Refer to Rad al-Muhtar 2: 99, Al-Hadiyah al-Ala'iyah p162, and Al-Mabsut 3: 141.
