DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 26th day of Sha'abaan (Friday 9th April 2021). TASTING FOOD WHILST FASTING. BismilLah.
If a fasting person needs to taste the food whilst fasting, there is nothing wrong with that, and it does not affect the fast so long as none of the food enters the throat of the fasting person.
If she or he tastes it without any need to do so, this is makrooh(dislike), but it does not invalidate the fast.
Ibn ‘Abbaas said: There is nothing wrong with tasting what is being cooked or whatever. Narrated by al-Bukhaari in a mu’allaq report.
Imam Ahmad said: I prefer that he should avoid tasting food, but if he does that it will not affect him and there is nothing wrong with that. Al-Mughni, 4/359. also note that using inhaler/ having covid injection/ ear drop/ eye drops etc does not invalidate our fast. Please remember today is Friday, let's strive to recite Suuratul Kahf, lots of salaat Alan Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam for our own benefit.
May ALLAH increase us in beneficial knowledge and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
