Is it necessary to make up for a day of fasting if a fasting person intentionally swallows saliva mixed with liquid deodorant that accidentally reached the mouth?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a fasting person ascertains the presence of deodorant taste in his mouth and deliberately swallows his saliva, his fast is broken, and he must make up that day. However, if it is merely a case of obsessive doubt (waswasa), then his fast is valid, and he does not need to make it up.
