Does inhaling perfume spray that reaches the throat invalidate the fast?
It is forbidden for a woman to leave her house perfumed. She is considered an adulteress if she perfumes herself and passes by a group of people so they can smell her fragrance. A woman, if she goes to the mosque, must wash off any perfume. As for a fasting person smelling perfume, there is no harm in it, except for incense, which should not be inhaled because it has a substance that can reach the stomach. If you find a trace of perfume spray scent in your throat, there is nothing wrong with that. The criterion for breaking the fast is the deliberate entry of a substance with a physical body into the cavity, and a scent does not have a physical body, nor was there any intention on your part.
