Q: Can I use Inhalers for Asthma whilst Fasting? Mufti Abu Layth

bismillah [Music] [Music] right can I use inhalers for asthma during fasting right well with us magic here I think someone just passed away

unfortunately it's okay automatic pumps don't work well for dyslexia I'm afraid actually if you're using them for somebody in the class is dyslexic that's right well okay asthmatic pumps in general they have they are a that they have a combination usually of three things they'll have some chemicals in them oxygen and water now what kind of usually it sprays out in one burst it will give usually what

is technically less than one milliliter of a kind of of a burst of gas or whether it's going to be kind of liquidated gas or whatever I mean it's got some moisturised gas if you like a better because it's got some moisture to it but that moisture isn't much it's less than one milliliter in a spray of now the question is is this permissible the chemicals per se are not food okay oxygen there is no harm in oxygen I mean you're breathing oxygen all the time

unless we go this but those are the only things that breaks it is the oxygen the only thing that breaks the fast is the oxygen everything else is fine so on this ruling many ala ma who have you know really people of this day and age that have looked with you know well-grounded orlimar people like cher Muhammad Hassan of Edo the great Shan creepy scholar and several others from other Institute's all around the world really allows her and many other places right

around the world have answered that but the ox the asthmatic pump does not violate the fast it is fine you can use that while fasting there's there's no there's no problem in that what's also interesting is people may say well and I know some people have questioned that and I think especially in parts of the world like the indo-pak part of the world it is seen as problematic and I believe mostly ducky has given a fatwa that it does break the fur and so and they feel that the the part of it

containing water moisture is what breaks the fast the thing is in all honesty when we look at things we see when we say that people can rinse out their mouths during you know you can do mud mother during during the fast to cool down there's nothing wrong in that to the extent that people say you can even taste food it doesn't break the fast that's from a Hanafy perspective if

you were rinsing your mouth let's say several times with water the chances of less than a milliliter of water being absorbed into are quite likely I mean that's not something so far-fetched you know if you're if there's no harm in rinsing your mouth and you've now put water in your mouth there's a great chance okay you spat it out but they will still be moisture in your mouth you've rinsed it out the chance that at least a one tiny milliliter of that get mixes with your saliva and gets swallowed it's very likely there's

nothing you know there's nothing so problematic about that really I mean none of the Olimar would object ever they wouldn't say that that's that violates your fast or anything like this the Maliki ago too much more they're much or open than that they say if you swallowed a patella or my banal s9 if you swallow what was stuck between the teeth remnants of food so even the units in his German are transmitted from even Habib and saneun and people like the of the Maliki method we say if you swallow something even the size of a P P as in

PE a just saying right for anybody here spelling difficulties right so the thing is that if you swallow something the size of a pea that was the remnants of food something remaining from food stuck between your teeth and it is food it's actual food you swallow that if not a visa /a Eileen he says that one oh I'm then Elmen Oh gentlemen whether you do that intentionally or unintentionally whether you did it out based on knowledge or ignorance /a a li nothing this there's no issue in that so

II and they say that because you know it doesn't make a difference you know these kind of small things or not and that's a very liberal you know people may use that as like they may see that I don't like using the word liberal but but people would see that as a very open meal like raw was a very relaxed 4:12 most and that's with actual food let alone moisture I mean you have certain narrations of things like you know if somebody is to say well this is a foreign element it's not like it when I said but water was a good example that I gave with we're mixing with the saliva

things like even food having the taste all of these things show that some tiny substances of things which are not really food and which are based on medical grounds to say that they invalidate or violate the fast is really I feel an obsessive kind of attitude towards the dean it's not the natural kind of attitude but you have it wouldn't really make much sense and the dean as I said in the Huayra Deena come a subtle that the best of your being is that which is of most 'yes so with that it's absolutely fine

to use the automatic pump
