Nullifying Factors

Question

Is one’s fast nullified by water entering the ears?

Answer

If water enters the ears unintentionally, then the fast will be valid. If one intentionally enters water into the ears, then too the fast will remain intact as people are generally in the habit of putting water in the ears.

Ask Ibn Masood

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