Is the smoke coming from the fire a breaker of the fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, what is the ruling on the smoke coming from the fire if it enters the stomach of the fasting person?
The Shaykh : What is in it?
The questioner : Is it a breaker of the fast, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, how would it break the fast?
A person who is lighting a fire to prepare his dinner.
The questioner : In a tent.
The Shaykh : Even in a tent, the prohibited thing is what some people do when they perfume themselves with incense; they put it to their nose and then inhale it. This is the prohibited thing, because the smoke rises to their nostrils and may descend to the stomach.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : As for a person who wants to perfume himself in the ordinary way, and even if he does so by putting it on his turban, there is nothing wrong with it. Pay attention to this, because some people think that the fasting person does not perfume himself, and this is not correct. Yes, yes, what is next?
