QUESTION
Will using my inhaler invalidate my fast?
ANSWER
﷽
Using an inhaler during fasting, regardless of the reason, will invalidate the fast because administering any type of medicine through the throat nullifies the fast, as mentioned in Hanafī key texts.
If a person uses an inhaler while fasting because it is required, they only need to make up for the fast after Ramadān (qadā).
