Question:
The questioner asks: Does smelling oud oil or incense break the fast?
Answer:
Sniffing incense, if one does so intentionally and it enters the nose, breaks the fast. As for smoke that reaches the nose and throat without intention, it does not harm him. As for perfumes in the form of oils, such as agarwood oil, sandalwood oil, ambergris oil, and other liquid oils, these do not harm the fast. It is permissible for a fasting person to apply perfume to his clothes and his body. Yes.
