Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sultan from Makkah, please, my brother Sultan. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Shaykh, I am asking you: sometimes during the daytime of Ramadan, I inhale steam to relieve a headache. Is this permissible or not? A headache. Yes, the Shaykh is asking you? Yes, indeed. And this steam is specifically for the headache. And the Indian intention, Shaykh, sometimes I put it in my nose.
Answer:
No, my brother, the fasting person does not take anything into the nose because it goes to the brain and affects his fast. He should leave it for the night.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
