Applying Zambuk to one's nose while fasting

· 19 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A person has a sore in his nose. He applied Zambuk in his nose whilst fasting. Is his fast valid

Answer

If he applies it at the tip of the nostril or slightly inside, then the fast will not break. However, if he inserts it deep inside the nostril, the fast will break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
