Answer

According to Haashiya Tahtawi, it is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi to unnecessarily taste anything while pasting because there is a risk of breaking the fast by swallowing it. (pg.679)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
