Question ID 5200 - Fasting (Sawm) - 2020-03-06 21:45:02 |
Salam
If a fasting person coughs or clears their throat from phlegm and every time they do this they could feel liquid in their throats or in the upper area of the throat, next to the mouth, and they intentionally swallow it. But they do not believe it to be water or food, they believe it is a lot of saliva or a mixture of phlegm, because they did not belch or vomit prior to this feeling. Is their fast valid? They also did not feel any actual water in mouth itself.
If , when they swallowed, they thought it wasn’t water but after they swallowed they thought maybe it was (as in they doubt if it was water but don’t think so) . Would their fast in this case be invalid too? They follow Sayed Al Sistani. Doesn’t Sayed Sistani mention that swallowing phlegm doesn’t break ones fast?
Thank you |
