The Ruling on Incense and Perfume for the Fasting Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on incense and perfume during the blessed days of Ramadan? Some people say: Incense and perfume break the fast, while others say: They do not break the fast.
Please inform us of the correct answer, Your Eminence the Shaykh.

Answer:
Incense and perfume do not break the fast. It is permissible for him to use perfume or incense, and that does not break his fast. However, it is safer not to inhale the incense, in order to avoid the difference of opinion. He should not inhale it, but rather perfume his clothes and his body.
With perfume, with rose, with agarwood oil, with incense, but he should not inhale the incense. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
