The Fasting Person Tasting Food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of fatwa number ( 9845 )
Q1: Some people, meaning scholars, have permitted a woman to taste food while fasting if she wants to know the quality of the food. Is this correct? They said: on the condition that the food does not reach the throat?
A1: There is no harm in a person tasting food during the day of fasting when there is a need, and his fast is valid if he does not intentionally swallow any of it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
