Question
Is it allowed to use an Asthma Pump during the Fast?
Answer
If one has a genuine medical need for an asthma pump that cannot be otherwise fulfilled, then it would be permitted to use it. However, it would break the fast and require that the fast be made up later (Qadha). This is because anything that has a perceptible body breaks the fast if it enters the body through a normal channel.
Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
