The ruling on gargling and rinsing the mouth for the fasting person

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This woman also says: I have pain in my throat, so I sometimes take gargling medicine. Is there anything I am required to do regarding gargling?

Answer:
It is not permissible to do this, because gargling in the throat causes something to go from there into the stomach. So do not use gargling while you are fasting. However, there is nothing wrong with rinsing the mouth, provided the rinsing is in the mouth and does not reach the throat. This is permissible because the mouth is considered part of the exterior. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose, and prohibited exaggerating in doing so, lest it reach the throat. In reality, gargling reaches the throat, one tastes it, and it seeps into the stomach. So do not gargle while fasting. Yes.
