The Ruling on Tasting Food for the One Who Is Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Some women taste the food while preparing it. Is this something that breaks the fast?
Answer:
It is permissible for the one who is fasting to taste food to know whether it is suitable or not. However, he should only taste it in his mouth and then spit it out, without swallowing any of it. If he intentionally swallows any of it, his fast is invalid. As for if it reaches his throat without his intention, or if he swallows it while unaware that it invalidates his fast, it does not affect his fasting. Yes.
