Does spitting break the fast?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Swallowing saliva does not break the fast by consensus if it is a normal habit, because it is difficult to guard against.

If a large amount of saliva collects unintentionally and one swallows it, it does not break the fast without dispute.
