The Ruling on a Fasting Person Using an Inhaler for Shortness of Breath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received by the program from al-Qaryat, sent by one of the female listeners from there. She says: I use the inhaler in Ramadan while I am fasting, and this is due to asthma, and I find it has a bitter taste. Does this break the fast?
Answer:
If it is for dire necessity, no, it does not break the fast, if Allah wills, if it is for dire necessity; because it is not a drink or food, rather it is air that relieves the oppressed breath, so the correct view is that it does not break the fast, but only in the case of dire necessity, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
