The questioner asks: What is the ruling on using nasal drops for a fasting person?
Answer:
Nasal drops are not permissible for a fasting person because they go down to the throat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2366Sahih (Al-Albani). He forbade the fasting person from exaggerating in sniffing water during ablution, fearing that the water might go down to his throat. It goes down to the throat. If you put it in your mouth, it goes down to the throat, so do not use it while you are fasting.
