The ruling on using an asthma inhaler during the daytime of Ramadan

Question:
The questioner says: I use an inhaler for asthma and allergies during the daytime of Ramadan. Is there any issue with my fasting?

Answer:
By Allah, this is a point of difficulty. Using the inhaler in the nose for asthma is a point of difficulty. Some scholars have issued a ruling on it, saying that it contains only air; it is merely air that opens the breath. However, there is a difficulty because it has been shown that this inhaler contains medicine that includes moisture from water; it is saturated with water and saturated with medicines, and it enters the throat and passes into the stomach. So there is a difficulty. The one who can do without it should leave it until night. As for the one who cannot do without it, some scholars have issued a ruling that it is permissible. If he relies on this ruling, then it is between him and his Lord. Yes.
