The answer

Merely tasting saliva in the mouth does not affect the validity of the fast, and the presence of its taste does not necessitate swallowing it. If a fasting person swallows saliva while asleep or unintentionally, this does not harm the fast; because swallowing saliva does not invalidate the fast unless one intentionally swallows it after it has exited the mouth.
