The ruling on a fasting person using an asthma inhaler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have Muhammad from al-Khabar, please go ahead, my brother Muhammad. Peace be upon you. Peace. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you safe, O Shaykh. May Allah keep you safe. I use this inhaler that I draw from, and it releases particles because I have asthma in my chest. Does it break the fast or not, O Shaykh? The Shaykh answered about the asthma inhaler a moment ago, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Yes, so Egypt

The questioner:
No, the asthma and the eye, this is a condition where it comes out like particles. What is the treatment, I mean, particles? No, no, it is an inhaler, it is just that you draw from it. An inhaler. Yes, it is in a circular shape, it is not the inhaler that sprays with water. It is an inhaler like powder, he says, O Shaykh. Yes, yes, that is right.

The Shaykh:
It is all the same, whether powder or water, or whatever enters the stomach, it breaks the fast of the fasting person, so he should delay it until night, yes.
