A Fasting Person Using Perfumes
Question:
What is the ruling on a fasting person using perfumes?
Answer:
There is no objection to a fasting person using them during the daytime in Ramadan or sniffing them, apart from incense, which he should not sniff, because it has some substance which reaches the stomach, and that is the smoke.
