Primary text

A woman forced into intercourse must make up the missed fast (Qada). Imam Ahmad affirmed this ruling when questioned about a woman whose self was forcibly taken.

Supporting text

A dissenting view, derived from one narration concerning Imam Ahmad via Ibn al-Qasim, suggests no Qada is due if the woman was compelled or sleeping, based on the absence of her own action, similar to water being poured down the throat involuntarily.
