The questioner : Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the ruling on using nasal drops in Ramadan, given that they usually enter the throat?
The Shaykh : If they do not reach the throat, or if the taste reaches only the substance that was poured into the nose, then they do not harm. However, if they are numerous and we know that they reach the stomach, it is not permissible for one whose fast is obligatory to use them except in cases of dire necessity, in which case he breaks his fast and makes up one day in its place.
And with this, this blessed session has ended. I ask Allah the Exalted to make it beneficial for everyone, and to return us and you to a time of good, for He is capable of all things.
The questioner : May Allah reward the honorable Shaykh with the best reward, and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His servant and Messenger Muhammad.
