The Effect of Gargling with Medication in the Mouth on Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, let’s take Nasser from Ta’if. Go ahead, Nasser. Peace be upon you, Shaykh Salih. And upon you be peace. May Allah be pleased with you and reward you with good, and may what you do on the occasion of the Mawlid be among your good deeds. Shaykh Salih, I have two questions, may Allah reward you with good. The first is that I took a mouth rinse medication because I have a disease in my mouth, and its taste remained until after morning, Shaykh. Does that affect my fast?
Answer:
No, my brother, gargling in the mouth does not harm the fast; because the mouth is considered part of the exterior. So, if you did not swallow anything from the gargle, if you did not intentionally swallow anything from it, then this does not harm your fast, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
