Question:

 

If someone is vaping just before Sehri ends and the liquid flavour travels into the mouth before Sehri ends and they can taste it when Fajr begins and Sehri ends, is their fast broken and do they need to do expiation, or is this similar to the taste of food after Sehri.

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

 

Answer:

 

In the Quran Allah says (Surah Baqarah Ayah 187)

 

“Eat and drink until the white thread of the dawn becomes distinct from the black thread; then complete the fast up to the night”

 

From this verse, we can understand that the correct time for fasting is fixed, and all eating and drinking will be unlawful after that.

 

However if after the suhoor, a person finds the taste of what was consumed in the mouth during the day will not break the fast to such an extent that a small morsel of food, the size of a chickpea that is in between the teeth, if swallowed will not break the fast.

 

Therefore one’s fast will not break and there will be no expiation of the fast if a trace of food is found after suhoor. But to clear the doubt, one should gargle the mouth properly before the time of sehri ends.

وَكُلُوۡا وَاشۡرَبُوۡا حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَـكُمُ الۡخَـيۡطُ الۡاَبۡيَضُ مِنَ الۡخَـيۡطِ الۡاَسۡوَدِ مِنَ الۡفَجۡرِ‌ؕ ثُمَّ اَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ اِلَى الَّيۡلِ‌ۚ 

 

(قَالَ): وَلَوْ أَنَّ صَائِمًا ابْتَلَعَ شَيْئًا كَانَ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ فَلَا قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ سِمْسِمَةً كَانَتْ أَوْ أَقَلَّ مِنْهَا؛ لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ مَغْلُوبٌ لَا حُكْمَ لَهُ كَالذُّبَابِ يَطِيرُ فِي حَلْقِهِ، وَإِنْ تَنَاوَلَ سِمْسِمَةً وَابْتَلَعَهَا ابْتِدَاءً فَهُوَ مُفْطِرٌ؛ لِأَنَّ هَذَا يُقْصِدُ إبْطَالَ صَوْمِهِ، وَمَعْنَى هَذَا أَنَّهُ إذَا أَدْخَلَ سِمْسِمَةً فِي فَمِهِ فَابْتَلَعَهَا فَقَدْ وُجِدَ مِنْهُ الْقَصْدُ إلَى إيصَالِ الْمُفْطِرِ إلَى جَوْفِهِ، وَذَلِكَ مُفْسِدٌ لِصَوْمِهِ فَأَمَّا إذَا كَانَ بَاقِيًا بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مِنْهُ الْقَصْدُ إلَى إيصَالِ الْمُفْطِرِ إلَى جَوْفِهِ، وَاَلَّذِي بَقِيَ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ تَبَعٌ لِرِيقِهِ، وَلَوْ ابْتَلَعَ رِيقَهُ لَمْ يَفْسُدْ صَوْمُهُ فَهَذَا مِثْلُهُ يُوَضِّحُ الْفَرْقَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُمْكِنُهُ التَّحَرُّزُ عَنْ اتِّصَالِ مَا بَقِيَ بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ إلَى جَوْفِهِ خُصُوصًا إذَا تَسَحَّرَ بِالسَّوِيقِ وَمَا لَا يُمْكِنُهُ التَّحَرُّزُ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ عَفْوٌ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الصَّائِمَ إذَا تَمَضْمَضَ فَإِنَّهُ يَبْقَى فِي فَمِهِ بَلَّةٌ ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَلَقَهُ مَعَ رِيقِهِ وَأَحَدٌ لَا يَقُولُ: بِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُفْطِرُهُ
