Refuting the doubt of those who say: Smoke does not break the fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some of the brothers say: Since smoke is not considered eating or drinking, inhaling it does not break the fast. What is the answer to this doubt, O Shaykh?
The doubt: You should say: He inhaled smoke.
The questioner: But they compare it to perfume and say: You inhale it! The Shaykh: No.
We do not inhale it. A fasting person does not inhale perfume in a way that reaches his stomach, but applying perfume is permissible.
The questioner: So, is smoke a breaker of the fast?The Shaykh: It is recommended that one who inhales smoke while fasting be flogged twice: once for breaking his fast, and once for inhaling smoke.
