The answer

There is no blame on a worker in a salt manufacturing plant who inhales salt dust and tastes it in his throat; his fast is not invalidated by this, because it is something that cannot be avoided, and Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. The jurists have agreed that a fasting person's fast is not broken by road dust or flour siftings reaching his interior without intention, and the same applies to dust from gypsum, flax, coal, barley, and wheat.
