Is the smoke of incense a nullifier of the fast for the one who is fasting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : A woman perfumes the house with incense in the afternoon of Ramadan; is there anything required of her?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward her with good.
The questioner : The smoke of the incense, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward her with good. The incense, my brothers, does not break the fast, even if one takes the incense burner and places it like this in the ghutrah, meaning one covers one's face with the ghutrah so that the incense enters the ghutrah and the beard and the like of that; there is nothing wrong with this. What is to be avoided is taking the incense burner and placing it under one's nose and inhaling it; that is what is to be avoided, and no one does this.
