Question Summary:
Does deodorant spray going through throat break fast?

Question Detail:

Does spraying from aerosols (air freshner, deodrants etc) break your fast if the actual vapour goes down the throat?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
In principle, if any substance that has a body is passed down one’s throat then it will break one’s fast. However, if such a substance goes down unintentionally, then it will not break the fast. [1]
Aerosol sprays have a defined body due to the vapours contained therein. If one is not cautious while applying these sprays and it goes down the throat, it will break one’s fast. However, if someone else is spraying and the vapours go down your throat, while you did not intend to inhale it, then your fast will not break.
One should exercise caution in using any substance that may jeopardize one’s fast.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

DARUL IFTAA BUILDING PROJECT
 
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
 
 
We make Du’aa you are well. The Darul Iftaa was established in the year 2011. The fundamental objective of the Darul Iftaa is to train Ulama from various parts of the world to become Muftis. In this world of scientific calculations and technological advancements, economic confusion and political disarray, a Mufti is trained to understand and analyze current situations and provide leadership for the Ummah. There is a vacuum  of competent Muftis in various parts of the world. The Ummah lacks leadership. There are currently twelve students who are studying at the Darul Iftaa. They are from United States of America, United Kingdom, Mozambique, Jamaica, Zambia, Canada and South Africa. There are many Ulama from many parts of the world who have applied to study the Iftaa course. They could not be accommodated due to lack of adequate facilities. The Darul Iftaa has therefore embarked on an expansion project.
The Darul Iftaa requests your generous contributions for the expansion project. The building project has already begun and is expected to be completed within the next three months. This is indeed a great opportunity for you to earn Sawab e Jariyah in the Aakhirah. This is a tree with many branches bearing sweet fruits for your Aakhirah. Insha’Allah. The Darul Iftaa banking details are as follows:
Bank:              FNB Bank
Account#:     62347912778
Branch:           221126
 
(The Darul Iftaa is registered and has the following PBO exemption number: 930039227 – 3 May 2012)
JazakAllah.
Mufti Ebrahim Desai
