Question:
The ruling on gargling and sniffing water during the month of Ramadan, for I gargled for the 'Asr prayer during Ramadan, and a small amount of water entered my throat without my intention. Does this affect my fast, and is it obligatory for me to make up this day? May Allah reward you with good. Gargling and sniffing water are part of the ablution and the full ritual bath, and the like.
Answer:
It is obligatory for the Muslim, it is obligatory for him to gargle and sniff water; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did it, whether for the fasting person or for others. Gargling and sniffing water are obligatory in the ablution and purification for the fasting person and for others, except that the fasting person is prohibited from exaggerating in gargling and sniffing water, out of fear that water will enter his throat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited exaggerating in sniffing and gargling for the fasting person. As for what the questioner mentioned, that water from gargling entered his throat without his choice, this does not affect him, and praise be to Allah.
