What if a fasting person eats chewing gum during the day?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if a fasting person eats chewing gum during the day.
The Shaykh : Chewing gum.
The questioner : Chewing gum means chewing gum, meaning gum.
The Shaykh : Yes, eat it all, my brother, what is the problem? But I have not heard of this.
The questioner : Okay, if he eats, meaning this.
The Shaykh : First, we advise against it, not because it is forbidden. Chewing gum for a fasting person is not preferred unless it has a taste that mixes with saliva. But we do not like this, first because of the bad impression it gives; who knows if what is in his mouth is chewing gum or a date, for example. Second, so that those who do not know the ruling do not imitate him and think that eating for a fasting person is permissible. However, if a person is alone in his house, for example, and eats gum to relieve
The questioner : He gathers the matter for me.
The Shaykh : his stomach, then there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : Rain, Shaykh, they ate what rained.
The Shaykh : He only looks.
The Shaykh : Chewing gum.
The questioner : Chewing gum means chewing gum, meaning gum.
