The Ruling on a Drop of Mucus for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question is about a drop in the nose. What is its ruling if it is necessary during fasting, such that the patient strives to ensure it does not reach his throat, though it may sometimes reach it?
Answer:
As we mentioned regarding the nasal spray, if it contains water or medicine, this does not affect the fast. He should postpone it until the night. If he is in dire necessity, he uses it during the day and makes up that day, which is safer for his conscience and more protective of it.
