Question:

Assalamu-Alaikum ,
Kindly let me know if taking Rotahaler breaks the fast ? I’m a wheezing patient and its very difficult during fast .
It’s just a kind of powder which goes inside the throat AND I don’t swallow anything . It’s called as ROTOCAPS .
And, if its invalidate the fast then how about the dust which goes inside our throat during travelling .
Please reply at the earliest . It’s getting difficult day by day .

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, a fast is broken by a discernible substance entering the throat independently, without any valid Shar’ī excuse.
When using the Rotocap inhaler, if visible particles reach the throat, the fast will be broken.

If it becomes difficult to breath and there is no other option but to use an inhaler, it will be permissible to use the inhaler and break the fast.  One must do Qadhā’ of the fast later on.[1]

And Allah Ta’ālā Knows Best

[1]  “أو دخل حلقه دخان بلا صنعه” لعدم قدرته على الامتناع عنه فصار كبلل بقي في فمه بعد المضمضة لدخوله من الأنف إذا أطبق الفم وفيما ذكرنا إشارة إلى أنه من أدخل بصنعه دخانا حلقه بأي صورة كان الإدخال فسد صومه سواء كان دخان عنبرا أو عودا أو غيرهما حتى من تبخر ببخور فآواه إلى نفسه واشتم دخانه ذاكرا لصومه أفطر لإمكان التحرز عن إدخال المفطر جوفه ودماغه وهذا مما يغفل عنه كثير من الناس فلينبه له ولا يتوهم أنه كشم الورود ومائه والمسك لوضوح الفرق بين هواء تطيب بريح المسك وشبهه وبين جوهر دخان وصل إلى جوفه بفعله    (حاشية الطحطاوي على مراقي الفلاح شرح نور الإيضاح (ص: 660)
