 Should Fasting Man Be Reminded Or Not On his Eating Or Drinking By Mistake?

Ramadan
Answer:

 It is "Waajib" (essential واجب) for one to remind the fasting man if he sees him eating or drinking by mistake and not to remind him is a sinful act. But in case the fasting man is very weak irrespective of young or old then his eating or drinking by mistake should be overlooked so that his weak body could get nutrients by his mistake thereby to help him fulfill the obligations of fast and prayer and also other worships as well. However, if the fasting man is healthy whether he is young or old then it is Waajib (واجب) to remind him of his mistake.
