Swallowing what one cannot avoid: Does it break the fast?

The questioner : And what one cannot avoid, such as swallowing one’s saliva, sifting flour, road dust, or a fly entering one’s throat, does not break the fast; because avoiding it

The Shaykh : It does not break the fast.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : here? It does not break the fast.

The questioner : It does not break the fast; because avoiding it is beyond one’s capacity, and , and if he collects his saliva

The Shaykh : This is what one cannot avoid and the person did not intend it, so it does not harm. But if he intends it, then it is considered: if it enters through his nose and reaches his stomach, it breaks the fast. For example, if a person sifts flour and deliberately sniffs it until it reaches his stomach, it breaks the fast because he intentionally introduced these particles of flour into his stomach. But if it is something one cannot avoid, it does not harm.

The presenter : Yes.
