Couple Questions On What Breaks The Fast
JazakAllah Dr. Irfan Shahzad, I just have one last question on this topic, if you don’t mind. So I know you said that rinsing the mouth is fine even in Ramadan. But is there any problem with gargles? Because in this case I think we take water far back into the throat; however, we still do not swallow it. JazakAllah
I’m still confused about two points. 1.) I understand that gargling is something that should be avoided. However, does this mean that one should also avoid brining water back to the throat altogether? Or is gargling discouraged specifically because water is being ‘bounced’ off the throat and that increases the risk of swallowing water? 2.) I understand that the food morcels from sehri are considered negligible during the fast in of itself. The thing is, some food morcels are so small that they cannot be distinguished from saliva when the saliva is being swallow. However, in other cases there may be larger-sized morcels that a person can detect on their tongue or between the teeth. In this case, can a person swallow these morcels as well, or would it be expected the morcels be spat out? Sorry for getting into specifics again. JazakAllah
