The ruling on swallowing phlegm for the one who is fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is phlegm, may Allah honor you, among the things that break the fast?
Answer:
If he swallows it, if it reaches his mouth and he swallows it back down, having come from his chest to his mouth, and he intentionally swallows it back, his fast is invalid. As for if he did not intend it, or if it did not come out, meaning it passed from his chest to his stomach and did not come out, then there is no harm. Yes.
