The ruling on what comes out of the body involuntarily during fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: If saliva enters the throat, does it invalidate his fast in Ramadan?

Answer:
No, if it is not by the person's choice, it does not invalidate the fast. This applies if it is not by the person's choice, except for menstruation in a woman or post-natal bleeding in a woman. As for bleeding in a woman other than menstruation and post-natal bleeding, or bleeding in a man, this does not harm the fast because it is involuntary. This includes bleeding from a wound, or from a vein that bleeds without his choice, or from a tooth that is extracted. This is involuntary and does not harm the fast. What harms the fast is cupping, because it is by the will of the cupper. Likewise, menstruation and post-natal bleeding, because they weaken the woman.
