If a fasting person gargles without performing wudu' and water enters his stomach, does he break his fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : What he mentioned (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the issue of exaggeration.

Answer : The correct view is that he does not break his fast, because the one who exaggerates is the one who intentionally causes water to enter his stomach, whereas in this case the water slipped in and entered his stomach. Similarly, if he gargles in a manner that is not prescribed, not as part of wudu', and water from this gargling enters his stomach, he does not break his fast.
