Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Does an Asthma Inhaler Break the Fast

So the question is about whether a person should use the asthma form,

if they feel a restriction in the lungs, and they have breathing

problems while fasting. I mean, it depends on how much you can manage

at the end of the day, yo FOSS will break if you use an asthma

pump. And if it does get difficult, you should use the

asthma pump. Because you know, you want to be able to maintain your

health. However, every person knows their limits. So if a person

knows that, if I just bear it for the next hour, it'll come down, if

I go to sleep for a while, I'll calm down, and they want to

protect their fast and they can do that. But if a person knows that

I'm just not going to be able to carry on, then yeah, you're going

to have to take that asthma home, it will break the fast because

although it's generally

aerosol, generally, asthma forms are generally here, so you can get

the powdered version as well, of salbutamol. But generally, it's

through the aerosol. So although some people try to argue that it

only goes down into the lungs and doesn't go into the stomach, and

anything that goes into the lungs only and not in the stomach should

not break the fast. However, studies show that part of it does

go into the stomach, and you can't be secure that it doesn't go into

the stomach. That's why asthma forms do break the fast, right? So

it will break the fast but you won't be sinful for doing so, if

you had to break it. Just today, Somebody contacted me that he's

got type one diabetes, where he's gotten an

insulin pump. So this is something that stays on your body. And admit

it keeps checking every 15 minutes or half an hour, your insulin

levels, and then it

releases insulin into your system. Sometimes it can malfunction or

sometimes your body can react in a different way. So he says I woke

up this morning with I forget the number one over four or something

like that, which was a very low hypoglycemia. I think it's cold,

and it's very dangerous. I mean, you could go into a coma, you

could die because of that. So he says I quickly ate something. But

the thing was that he said, I didn't really feel much. I only

noticed it when I checked my reading, which is even more

dangerous, if you don't know. But clearly in that kind of a case.

It's a very dangerous situation to be in. So you have to break your

fast in that case, but with asthma situation, you don't have to break

your fast. You will know your tolerance level. Am I going to get

better within an hour or something like that? Or do I want to you

know, I just can't function I'm going to have to break it. So

that's what you do.

You have to keep up a cover afterwards. You have to make up on

fast afterwards. You don't have to do a thorough
