The ruling on using eye drops and an asthma inhaler during the daytime of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Things that have become common in our time, such as eye drops and asthma inhalers, are used by many people during the daytime of Ramadan?

Answer:
The fasting person should avoid all things that affect his fast as a precaution, using them at night instead. However, if he needs them during the day, this is a matter of hesitation among the scholars. But if he uses them, he must be careful that they do not reach his throat. If he senses their taste in his throat, he should spit it out, hastening to spit it out, and not leave anything to go into his stomach. Yes.
