Nigerian artist Azeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, has shared his thoughts with fellow Muslims, especially those observing the fast during Ramadan. The fasting period started on Friday, February 28, 2025, as Muslims globally seek closeness to Allah.

He mentioned a rule in Islam that states if someone accidentally eats or drinks while fasting, their fast remains valid. It is said that Naira Marley’s comment is based on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

The music executive, known for his controversial views, told Muslims not to be too hard on themselves if they mistakenly break their fast before the time. He urged them to keep fasting for the rest of the day. He wrote:

“If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully, then he should complete his fast, for what he has eaten or drunk was given to him by Allah.”

Naira Marley’s message caused mixed reactions from Muslims and people of other faiths, along with criticism related to Mohbad’s death.
