The ruling on a fasting person smelling perfume and agarwood
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is it permissible for a fasting person to smell perfume and agarwood?
Answer: He should not inhale the agarwood. As for types of perfume other than incense, there is nothing wrong with them. However, he should not inhale the agarwood itself, because some scholars hold that inhaling agarwood breaks the fast, as it reaches the brain and has a strong effect. Smelling it without intention does not break the fast.
