The Ruling on Applying Kohl for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he asks about kohl: does it affect the fast or not?
Answer:
The correct view is that it does not affect the fast, but it is better to apply it at night; otherwise, it has no effect, because the eye is not a passage. However, some scholars say: if he finds it in his throat, if he finds a trace of the kohl or eye drops in his throat, he must make up the fast. The correct view is that he is not required to make it up, but using it at night is the more cautious and better course of action, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam). Yes.
