Does tasting food affect fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding a woman who is in the kitchen tasting food, and the smells of food that enter the mouth, Honorable Shaykh, how should the woman deal with this?

Answer:
Yes, a woman who is cooking may taste the food to check its saltiness or lack thereof in order to adjust it. She should spit out the food water in her mouth. The fact that it goes through the pores does not harm, provided she does not swallow it. But if it goes through the pores, that does not harm. Yes.
