The ruling on inhaling incense for the fasting person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for incense during the daytime of Ramadan, does it contain anything that breaks the fast?

Answer:
It is not permissible to intend to smell incense such that it enters the nose, because it goes to the brain and stimulates the fasting person. If the incense is in a place in the house and its scent reaches him, there is nothing wrong with that. However, intending to smell the incense is not permissible because it disrupts his fast. Yes.
