Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what are the things that break the fast for the fasting person? And what is the ruling on the newly invented things now, such as the asthma inhaler, the nasal inhaler, and others? We ask for a detailed explanation from whoever has come.
Answer:
We explained them in the study. Yes. As for the asthma inhaler, I have a reservation regarding it, but the Permanent Committee, under the presidency of Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), issued a fatwa permitting the use of the inhaler during fasting because they hold that it is not among the things that break the fast. Allah knows best. As for me, I have a reservation because it is a medicine and it contains water. Yes.
