Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abu Hamid asks: Does the smoke that rises from fire break the fast of one who is fasting?
Answer:
No, smoke does not break the fast of one who is fasting, but he should not intentionally inhale it into his stomach, whether it is fragrant or otherwise. This is because some scholars say that if one intentionally inhales it, it breaks his fast. Therefore, he should avoid doing so. As for something that enters without intention, such as the smoke of incense, wood smoke, or water vapor, it does not harm him. However, if he intentionally inhales fragrant smoke or the like, some scholars consider this to break the fast, so he should be cautious and avoid it.
