The ruling on swallowing phlegm while fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on phlegm while fasting?

Answer:
If the phlegm has not come out to his mouth, but is only in his throat, and he swallows it, it has no effect. However, if he pulls it up to his mouth and then returns it, this breaks the fast. If he brings the phlegm to his mouth and then swallows it back, this breaks the fast. But if it is in the throat and goes down, nothing is required of him. Yes.
