The questioner : His other question states that some people, especially certain employees, when they want to leave their house, apply strong perfume and put a spray in their mouth to improve their smell after a long sleep after Fajr. What is the ruling on that? May Allah guide you.
The Shaykh : Applying perfume for the fasting person is permissible, whether it is on his head, his beard, or his clothes. As for using a spray in the mouth, this is also permissible if it does not have particles that reach the stomach. However, if it has particles that reach the stomach, it is not permissible to use it, because that exposes his fast to invalidation. If it is a vapor that does not go beyond the mouth, it does not harm, whether he uses it to perfume his mouth or to ease his breathing, as some people suffering from high blood pressure and similar conditions do.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I would like the one who uses the spray to perfume his mouth to consult the doctors about it, because I have heard that using perfume in the mouth ends up causing a bad smell in the person's mouth. He should not use this, neither during fasting nor otherwise, until he asks the doctors.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And Allah is the One who grants success.
The questioner : His question, meaning Hamad 'Abd al-Hamid from al-Hasa's last question.
