Question:My father uses an asthma nebulizer every day. Is it permissible to use it during fasting?

Answer: In the name of Allah, after consulting the expert, we came to know that the inhaler is of two types: The first contains medical powder, which is changed into gas after being exposed to air pressure. It seems that this does not invalidate fasting if the fasting person does not feel the taste of the powder in his mouth; otherwise, it invalidates fasting. The second contains a medical liquid, which is changed into spray after being exposed to air pressure and this definitely invalidates fasting. Allah knows best.

Question:A fasting person has rinsed his mouth while fasting in Ramadhan. A little water came inside inadvertently. Does he have to offer qadhaa fasting if this rinsing was for the purpose of cooling, ablution for obligatory prayers, ablution for reciting Quran or ablution for recommended prayers?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if the water used in mouth rinsing or in any other purpose comes inside (comes in the back of the mouth so that it cannot be discharged), it obligates qadhaa fasting without kaffara. Yet, if he forgets that he is fasting and swallows it, there is no qadhaa fasting even if it was in mouth rinsing for a recommended or mandatory prayers, or any other purpose. Allah knows best.

Question:What is the ruling of using eye drops while fasting?

Answer:In the name of Allah, regarding using eye drops at night – from iftar time till before imsak time, it is permissible. However, during daytime while fasting, if the medicine comes down in the mouth, which is then known by having a taste in the mouth, it invalidates fasting. In this case, the person has to offer qadhaa fasting and pay kaffara in case he knows this information before, but if he does not know, then he has to offer qadhaa fasting only without kaffara. Therefore, one should have a precaution and take the eye drop at night. Allah knows best.
