The ruling on a fasting person tasting food while preparing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Her second question is: Is it permissible to taste table salt while I am fasting, when it does not go down to the throat but stays on the tip of the tongue? I ask you to be kind and answer these two questions, and may you remain safe.
Answer: There is no harm in that. There is no harm if a woman tastes the food, or if a male cook tastes it. It is fine for him to taste it to see if it is salty or if it is good, then spit it out without swallowing anything. He tastes it and then discards it; there is nothing wrong with that, whether for the woman or for the male cook. There is no harm in this, praise be to Allah. Yes.
