Ruling on the use of an asthma inhaler by a fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the ruling on using an inhaler in the mouth during the day while fasting for a patient with asthma or a similar condition?
Answer: The ruling is that it is permissible if he is in dire necessity for it; because of the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) : [Surat al-An'am: 119], and because it does not resemble eating or drinking, so it is like drawing blood for analysis and non-nutritive injections.
Answer: The ruling is that it is permissible if he is in dire necessity for it; because of the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled
وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلاَّ مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
