Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner, Umm 'Abd al-Rahman from al-Dawasir, says: My father likes to light wood fires during the day in Ramadan. If he feels the taste and smell of the fire in his throat, does that affect his fast?
Answer:
It does not affect it if he did not intend to smell the smoke or inhale it into his stomach; in that case, it does not harm him if it reaches his throat involuntarily. He may light a fire to warm himself and cook on it when he needs to. He may light a fire even if he is fasting. If smoke enters his throat or nose unintentionally, it does not harm him. Yes.
