The Asthma Inhaler for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the inhaler used for asthma one of the things that break the fast?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a very serious matter, but a fatwa was issued by Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), who was a member of the Committee at the time, stating that it does not harm and does not break the fast. As for me, I have reservations about it, because we asked about the reality of the inhaler and they said it contains medicine and also a water substance. As for me, I have reservations, but as for the others, they also issue a fatwa on it.
