The Fasting Person Inhaling Incense
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Does the fasting person break his fast by inhaling incense?
The Shaykh:
Yes, inhaling incense breaks the fast because it enters his brain and stimulates it, stimulating the blood and the blood circulation. There is no doubt that incense breaks the fast if he intends to smell it and puts it into his nose.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable.
The Shaykh:
If the incense flies into his nose, or if he enters a place where there is incense, that does not harm him, because he did not intend it. Yes.
