The Ruling on Mouth Sprays for the One Who Is Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. There are also some inhalers that a person uses on his own initiative, placing them in his throat.
Answer:
This is a matter of necessity, so we issue the ruling that there is no harm in it. The Permanent Committee has stated that there is no harm in it, because it is a necessary addition and is not food or drink. One is compelled to use it; the inhalation reaches him, and he is compelled to use it; it is indispensable. Even if we were to say that it invalidates the fast, he would still need it for making up the fast as well, and there is no way to avoid it. Therefore, the most likely and apparent view is that it does not invalidate the fast, if Allah wills. Yes.
