Dought & clear - If water reaches his throat because of rinsing his nose when fasting

Does my fast break if water runs down the back of my throat when i
clear my nose in wudoo?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The fasting person is forbidden to go to extremes in rinsing his nose,
because the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to
Laqeetibn Sabirah (may Allaah be pleased with him): "Do wudoo' well,
make the water run in between your fingers and toes, and go to
extremes in rinsing the nose, unless you are fasting." Narrated by Abu
Dawood (142) and al-Tirmidhi (788); classedas saheeh by al-Albaani
inSaheeh al-Tirmidhi.
This hadeeth indicates that one should avoid going to extremes in
rinsing the nose when fasting, so that the water will not
inadvertently enter the fasting person's body.
Secondly:
If the fasting person rinses his mouth or nose and some of the water
goes down into his throat without him intending it to, that doesnot
break the fast, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And there is no sin on you concerning that in which you made a
mistake, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend"
[al-Ahzaab 33:5]
This person did not deliberately intend to dothat which invalidates
the fast, so his fast is still valid.
Seeal-Sharh al-Mumti'(6/240, 246).
And Allaah knows best.
