Applying Zambuk to one's nose while fasting
Question
A person has a sore in his nose. He applied Zambuk in his nose whilst fasting. Is his fast valid
Answer
If he applies it at the tip of the nostril or slightly inside, then the fast will not break. However, if he inserts it deep inside the nostril, the fast will break.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
