The Ruling on Using an Inhaler During the Day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We have received this question, Honorable Shaykh. He says: We are close to the blessed month of fasting, and I suffer from asthma. Is there any obstacle to taking my asthma inhaler while I am fasting?
Answer:
By Allah, there is a problem with this. A fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee permitting it, but there is a problem in that it contains a medicinal substance mixed with it, and some water also reaches the throat and seeps into the stomach. It is better to leave it for the night. If he is unable to fast except with the inhaler, then he is a sick person; he may break his fast and make up the days from other days. Yes.
