The Ruling on Inhaling Organic Acids for the One Who Is Fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Inhaling some organic acids while working in the month of Ramadan, does it break the fast or not?

Answer:
It is not permissible to intentionally inhale, but if it reaches his nose without intention, there is no harm in that. As for intentionally inhaling scents that affect the brain and affect the person, such as incense, such as stimulating substances, or for example powdered musk, or dust, or the like, this has an effect if a person does it intentionally. But if he did not intend it and it flew to his throat or to his nose without intention, then it does not affect his fasting. Yes.
