The answer: Rinsing the mouth and sniffing water in Ramadan and in other times are obligatory according to the correct view. So it is obligatory for the Muslim to rinse his mouth and sniff water in Ramadan or in other times, in the ablution and in the full ritual bath. This is the obligatory act in the most correct of the opinions of the scholars. However, in Ramadan, he should not exaggerate. He should rinse his mouth without exaggeration so that the water does not go into his stomach, and he should sniff water without exaggeration, as in the authentic hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 407Sahih (Darussalam) If he is fasting, he should not exaggerate. He should sniff water two or three times, and the best is three times. And so it is with rinsing the mouth, but he should not exaggerate. He should not be severe in sniffing the water so that it does not go into his stomach. Yes.
