Question

Someone who was not accustomed to fasting on the day of his mother's yahrzeit and began fasting, and at noon found out that it is not a fast since he did not accept the fast, can he eat at noon?

Answer

He should finish the day fasting, but it is not considered a fast. However, there are those who are lenient and say that he does not need to finish the day fasting.
