Does wearing lipstick when fasting break the fast?

What is the ruling on wearing lipstick during the day in Ramadaan?
Does it break the fast? Please note that some lipsticks have a slight
taste and some have no taste; some types of lipstick may be dry and
some may be moist.
Praise be to Allaah.
All kinds of preparations that are put on the outside of the body,
whether they are absorbed through the skin or not, and whether they
are for treatment, moisturizing, beautification or any other purpose,
do not break the fast unless they are swallowed by the fasting person.
The mere fact that it has ataste does not affect the fast so long as
one does not swallow anything.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked in Majmoo'
al-Fataawa (15/260):
What is the ruling on women using kohl and some cosmetics during the
day in Ramadaan? Do these things break the fast or not?
He replied:
Kohl does not break the fast of men or women according to the more
correct of the two scholarly opinions, but it is better to use it at
night if one is fasting.
The same applies to soaps, creams etc that are used to beautify the
face and are applied to the surface of the skin, including henna,
makeup and the like. There is nothing wrong with usingthem for one who
is fasting, but makeup should not be used if it will cause harm to the
face. And Allaah is the source of strength. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about
the ruling on a fasting person using ointment to treat dryness of the
lips.
He replied:
There is nothing wrong with a person using ointment to moisturise the
lips or nose, or moistening them with water, or with a cloth andthe
like, but he should avoid anything that could reach the throat. But if
anything reaches the throat without him intending it to, there is
nosin on him, just as if he rinses his mouth and some water reaches
his throat by accident, his fastis not invalidated by that. End quote.
Majmoo' al-Fataawa (19/224).
Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him) said in Fataawa 'Ulama'
Balad al-Haraam (201):
There is nothing wrong with applying creams to the body when fasting
if there is a need for that, because the cream only reaches the
surface of the skin and does not enter the body. Even if it is
absorbed by the pores it is not regarded as breaking the fast. End
quote.
And Allaah knows best.

If a person wants to cancel his intention whilst doing wudoo’, praying or fasting

The great scholar al-Sa'di says in al-Fataawa al-Sa'diyyah (p. 228):
Cancelling one's intention with regard to acts of worship is of two
types: one which does not have any effect, which is after the act of
worship has been completed. … The second is cancelling the intention
for the acts of worship when one is still doing it. … This means that
the act of worship is not valid.
Does this mean that if it occurs to me to break an obligatory fast, my
fast becomes invalid? What if that occurs to me but I donot form the
intention to break my fast, is that o.k.?What is the ruling on that?
Similarly in the case of wudoo', if in the middleof it I begin to
doubt whether there is some urine there, for example, then I do not
find any. Sometimes I form the intention to stop doing wudoo', then I
go back and complete it after not finding anything. Should I start
again from scratch because I stopped intending wudoo' in this case?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If a person forms the intention to stop doing anact of worship whilst
he isdoing it, it becomes invalid. No exception is made except in the
case of Hajj and 'umrah, which do not become invalid if the intention
is cancelled or even if a person declares that he is going to stop.
Rather the muhrim remains in ihraam until he has completed the rituals
or he exits ihraam because of being prevented from continuing.
It says in al-Mughni (1/278): If he started his prayer with a sound
intention, then he forms the intention to stop praying and exit from
it, then it becomes invalid. This was the view of al-Shaafa'i. End
quote.
It says in Zaad al-Mustanqi' in the chapter on prayer: If he decides
to end his prayer whilst praying or he becomes hesitant, then his
prayer is invalidated. In the chapter on fasting he said: The one who
forms the intention to break the fast has broken the fast.
But Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in
al-Sharh that hesitatingabout ending the prayer does not make the
prayer invalid. See: al-Sharh al-Mumti' (1/486). An example of
hesitating is if he hears someone knocking at the door, and he wonders
whether he should stop praying or carry on?
Thus it is clear that if a person decides to stop theact of worship,
it becomesinvalid, but if that was simply a thought that crossed his
mind, it does not invalidate the act of worship.
Based on this, if the idea of stopping the fast simply occurs to one,
it does not invalidate the fast until he decides and forms the
intention to break the fast.
Similarly, if whilst doing wudoo' he becomes uncertain as to whether
urine has come out of him, and he pauses and looks, but does not
intendto stop doing wudoo', andhe does not find anything,then his
wudoo' is not invalidated.
Similarly if he intends to stop doing wudoo' his wudoo' is
invalidated, andit is not permissible for him to complete it, rather
he must start all over again.
It says in al-Insaaf (1/151): If he cancels his intention whilst
purifying himself, what he has already done is invalidated, according
to the correct view. This was the view favoured by Ibn 'Aqeel and by
al-Majd in his commentary. And it was said that what has already been
done is not invalidated thereby; this was stated by al-Musannaf in
al-Mughni. End quote.
But one must beware of waswasah, because the shaytaan may come to a
person and make him think that something has come out of him, and the
person may get carried away with that and hardly be able to do any act
of worship without doubting about it, which may cause him hardship and
distress.

And Allaah knows best.

The one who cannot help vomiting does not have to make up the fast

I fasted six days of Shawwaal and the fifth day was a Friday. At the
time of Fajr prayer I unintentionally vomited what I had eaten, but I
completed my fast and fasted the Saturday too. Ismy fast valid or
invalid?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Your fast is valid, and the fact that you vomited does not matter,
because if a person vomits unintentionally and without meaning to do
so, his fast is still valid. But the one who vomits intentionally has
broken his fast, because of the report narrated by al-Tirmidhi (720)
from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaahbe pleased with him), thatthe Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The one who cannot
help vomiting does not have to make up the fast, but the one who
vomits deliberately has to make it up." Classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni (3/23):
The one who makes himself vomit has to make up (the fast), but the one
who cannot help vomiting does not have to do anything.
What is meant by making oneself vomit is vomiting deliberately, and
what is meant by "cannot help vomiting" is when it happens
involuntarily. The one who makes himself vomit has to make up the fast
because his fast has been spoiled, but the one who cannot help it does
not have to do anything. This is the view of the majority of scholars.
Al-Khattaabi said: I do not know of anydifference of opinion among the
scholars. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about
vomiting in Ramadaan – does it break the fast?
He replied: If a person vomits deliberately then it breaks the fast,
but if hevomits unintentionally then it does not break thefast. The
evidence for thatis the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased
with him) … and he quoted the hadeeth that we have quoted above.
If you could not help vomiting, then you did not break the fast. If a
person feels that his stomach is queasy and that its contents will be
expelled, do we say that you have to try to stop it?No. Or that you
have to make it happen? No. Rather we say: Take a middle approach – do
not make yourself vomit and do not try to stop it, because if you make
yourself vomit you will break the fast, but if you try to stop it,
that will harm you. So leave it, and if it comes out without any
action on your part, then it will not matter and that will not break
your fast.

If the fasting person detects the taste of blood in his throat

If we detect the taste of blood in out throats and spit out a little
of it when fasting, do we have to make up the fast?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If the fasting person detects the taste of blood in his throat, that
does not affect him even if he swallows it, but if it comes up to the
mouth then he swallows it, he breaks his fast.
The same is said concerning phlegm, sputum and everything that may
appear in the throat.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: I should
point out with regard to the issue of sputum and phlegm, because some
fasting people make it toohard for themselves, and if they notice that
in the deepest part of their throats, they try very hardto expel it,
and this is a mistake, because phlegm and sputum do not spoil
aperson's fast unless they reach his mouth then he swallows them, in
which case it breaks the fast according to some scholars, but
according to others that does not break the fast either.
But that which is in his throat and goes down into his stomach does
not break his fast, even if he feels it, so he should not tire himself
out by trying to expel that which is in his throat of these things.
