The Ruling on Tasting Food for the One Who Is Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: If a woman tastes food during the day in Ramadan to check its flavor, and some of it enters her stomach without her intending it, does this affect her fast?
Answer:
It does not affect her fast. She may taste the food to know if it is suitable, and she may spit out what is in her mouth. But if something goes down without her choosing it, or if she forgets and swallows it, she owes nothing.
