Question:
We thank Your Eminence the Shaykh for these words. The jihad for us is that we have covered some of the questions, some of which were repeated in previous nights, but we will address what we can, if Allah wills. A woman asks: Does the scent of perfume, agarwood, and jawa break the fast of the fasting person or not?
Answer:
Agarwood, in all its types, does not break the fast of the fasting person if it is not inhaled, but he should not inhale it; he should not put it in his nose to inhale it, because some scholars hold that it breaks the fast if inhaled. However, if he smells it from a distance without inhaling it, it does not break the fast, whether it is agarwood, jawa, or anything else. Yes.
