The ruling on a fasting person tasting food without swallowing it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If a person tastes food in Ramadan while fasting, and it does not enter the throat, does this invalidate the fast?

Answer:
There is no harm. One may taste the food. The cook, whether male or female, may taste the food and then spit it out, not swallow it. They may taste it, and there is nothing wrong with that. One may taste it but not swallow it. Yes.
