Asthma Inhaler: Does It Break the Fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Please, my brother Abu Ali from Jeddah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I am your long-lived one, asking about the inhaler: does it break the fast or not, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
If he is able to postpone it until the night, that is safer for him.
The questioner:
Your brother is using it orally, then.
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is known.
The questioner:
It breaks the fast.
The Shaykh:
I say he should leave it for the night; it is safer for him and better for him.
The questioner:
In case of dire necessity.
The Shaykh:
In case of dire necessity, he takes it, and if he senses a taste in his throat, he spits it out and does not swallow it?
The questioner:
My voice is a bit heavy, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah heal you and grant you well-being.
The presenter:
Thank you.
