Question : Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. The phone is ringing. Yes, yes, go ahead. Hello. Yes. Look, look. The smoke rising from the wood, O Shaykh, does it break the fast, O Shaykh?
Answer : It does not break the fast. Smoke from wood does not break the fast, and smoke from incense does not break the fast. In fact, a person may use incense and there is no blame on him, but he must not inhale the smoke. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Daqif ibn Ibrayh:Sunan Abi Dawud 2366Sahih (Al-Albani), do not inhale the smoke. As for using incense.
