Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The mouth, and it goes to the state. Yes. It is forbidden to chew gum that dissolves if one swallows his saliva, and it is disliked.
The Shaykh:
As for if he does not swallow it and puts the dissolving gum in his mouth and does not swallow it, it does not affect his fast. Yes.
The questioner:
And kissing is disliked for the one whose desire is aroused by it.
The Shaykh:
Yes, kissing is disliked for the one whose desire is aroused by it; kissing the woman is disliked for the one whose desire is aroused by it. As for the one whose desire is not aroused by it, such as an elderly person, there is no harm in it for the fasting person, due to the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
