The ruling on a fasting person swallowing saliva

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: On the first day of Ramadan, at ten o'clock, there was some water in my saliva, so I swallowed the saliva. No, no, no, Shaykh, it was not water, Shaykh. It was Nuri, Khalid al-Sabah. Yes. The saliva, the saliva, Shaykh, was outside the mouth and I swallowed it. If the Fajr time had entered, do not swallow it.

The Shaykh:
He swallows something. However, if it did not come out before the dawn, or if he does not know whether it came out or not, then there is no harm on him.

The questioner:
The second question, my brother. Shaykh, the first question was not clear, Shaykh. I mean the saliva, the same as the spittle, may Allah honor you, was outside the mouth when I woke up from sleep, so I swallowed the saliva. This was my saliva, so I expected that it would not break the fast. It was outside the mouth, Shaykh, and I swallowed it here.

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with swallowing saliva.

The questioner:
But.

The Shaykh:
But if it was, yes.

The questioner:
The saliva was outside the mouth because I was awake from sleep and I swallowed it. Yes.

The Shaykh:
If you did not do it intentionally, you owe nothing.

The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
