Dought - clear - He cannot do without nose drops in Ramadan.

I use nose drops, which Ihave been using for more than twenty years
when fasting, because I suffer from difficulty in breathing. Now I
have found out that they break the fast; what do I have to do now?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
If the nose drops do not reach the throat, they donot break the fast.
But if they do reach the throat,then they do break the fast. We have
discussed this previously in the answer to question no. 93531
Secondly:
If these drops reach the throat, in the sense that the sick person can
detect their taste in his throat, and he is not able to do without
them during the day in Ramadan, and he does not have any suitable
alternative, and his sickness is one from which there is no hope of
recovery, then in that case he comes under thesame ruling as an old
man )who is unable to fast(, and he has to feed the poor only, because
Allah, may He be exalted,says )interpretation of the meaning(: "And as
for those who can fast with difficulty, )e.g. an old man(, they have
)a choice either to fast or( to feed a Miskeen )poor person( )for
every day(" ]al-Baqarah 2:184[.
Ibn Qudaamah )may Allah have mercy on him( said: In the case of the
sick person who has no hope of recovery, he may not fast and should
feed one poor person for each day, because hecomes under the same
ruling as an old man.
End quote from al-Mughni, 4/396
With regard to the days you have fasted in the past, then we hope that
by the grace of Allah thatwill be accepted from you, and you do not
have to do anything, especially since you usedthose nose drops when
you were unaware that they break the fast; moreover this ruling is one
concerning which there is a difference of opinion among the scholars.
The correct scholarly view is that if a person does one of the things
that break the fast not knowing that it breaks the fast, he does not
have to do anything.
That has been discussed previously in the answerto question no. 93866
We ask Allah to grant you a speedy recovery.
And Allah knows best.
