The ruling on swallowing phlegm in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you for swallowing the dangers in the Sham club.
The Shaykh:
If one does it intentionally, the path is if it reaches his mouth and he does it intentionally. A small amount, meaning. It does not harm. As for if it is in the mouth, it is not permissible to swallow it. If he took it with his mouth, meaning he brought it out, but if it is in the throat before that, meaning. It did not reach, it did not settle, it does not harm. I was in doubt that I was swallowing in Ramadan, a past one, or I do not remember exactly if I was swallowing or not. In doubt. The same ruling. Phlegm, phlegm means if you are certain that you swallowed it, you make up the day, but if you have doubt, you have not committed anything.
