The ruling on smoke from fire entering the stomach of a fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on smoke from fire during fasting? If it enters the stomach, does it break the fast, O Shaykh?
No.
How does it break the fast? The prohibited thing is what some people do when they perfume themselves with incense: they hold it to their nose and inhale it. This is the prohibited act, because the smoke rises to their nostrils and may descend to the stomach. As for a person who wants to perfume himself, there is no harm, even if he rubs the perfume on his face; there is no harm.
Be careful about this, because some people think that a fasting person does not perfume himself, and this is not correct.
No.
