The ruling on intentionally inhaling the scent of burning wood while fasting

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: You mentioned in a previous lesson that intentionally smelling incense invalidates the fast of the one who is fasting. The question is: in these times, with the start of winter, people sit near burning wood, such as for socializing or staying up at night, and it has a distinct, pleasant scent. Does it also invalidate the fast of the one who is fasting if he intentionally sits near it and inhales its scent?

Answer:
Sitting there does not [invalidate it], but if he intentionally inhales it, then yes. However, if he does not intend to smell it, but rather sits to relax in the place and does not intend to smell it, then there is no harm in that, and it does not invalidate the fast. He does not intend to smell it, but rather intends to seek healing in the place, or to sit for breaking the fast, or for the pre-dawn meal, or something else. In that case, there is no harm, even if the place has smoke from the burning wood, or even if smoke enters [his nose] and he did not intend to smell it. There is no harm in that.
