Does inhaling vicks invalidate fast?

Assalamu Alaikum,I wish to know whether it is permissible to put one?s nose a tube that has Vicks that one inhales in order to open (open one?s air ducts) nasal congestion due to Flu & Cold. If a person uses it while fasting is his fasting nullified and qadaa obligatory?I used it while fasting (3 or 4 times) and thought it was Ok! I read some Islamic Books (rules & regulations of fasting) and found no mention whether inhaling Vicks invalidates the fast. Only inhaling snuff (powder) and asthma sufferers are not allowed to use their inhaler while fasting.Now I am having second thoughts whether my fasting is valid or not. Is kaafara necessary?Please help me to clarify. I follow Hanafi madhab.Jazak Allah

Do we fast for looking at a Non-Muslim’s Corpse

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. I learned that a Muslim is supposed to fast three days if he looks at the corpse of a non-Muslim. I would like to ask if this ruling applies to photos or corpses shown on TV, for example in disaster zones, etc. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Double Intention in Optional Fast and Prayer

As-Salamu `alaykum. Is it permissible to combine two intentions in supererogatory prayers or fasting?
