Intentionally drawing mucus from the nose to the mouth and swallowing it has a differing ruling among scholars. Some are of the view that it does not invalidate the fast, and this is the position of the Hanafis, while others disagree with them. However, if one swallows mucus unintentionally, it does not invalidate the fast.
