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
