The ruling on tasting food for a woman who is fasting and on food entering the throat unintentionally

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, this woman asks: In her kitchen, is it permissible for me to taste the food to know its flavor? If some of it enters my throat unintentionally, does that break my fast?

Answer:
It is permissible to taste food in the mouth to determine its suitability, but one must spit it out. One spits out what was put in the mouth and does not let it go down to the throat. If something goes down to the throat unintentionally, it does not harm her. Yes.
