The Ruling on Incense for the Fasting Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is incense considered one of the narcotics that invalidate the fast?

Answer:
Yes, if he intends to inhale it, it is like drinking it with patience. But if it reaches his nose without his intending to inhale it, there is no objection to it.
