The Asthma Inhaler for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the inhaler used for asthma one of the things that break the fast?
Answer:
By Allah, this is very obscure, but a ruling was issued by Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) and the members of the Council in his time that it does not harm and does not break the fast. As for me, I have reservations about it, because we asked about the nature of the saliva and they said that it contains medicine and also a watery substance, to the best of their knowledge, as for the inhalation or the swallowing. Yes.
