Subject : Islamic Ruling on Using Inhaled Vapor and Menthol Rub (Vicks) during the Day in Ramadan
Fatwa Number : 4121
Date : 28-01-2026
Classified : Things which Invalidate Fasting
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

What is the ruling on using snuff, inhaled vapor, or menthol rub (Vicks) during the day in Ramadan?



The Answer :

Using snuff, inhaled vapor, or menthol rub (Vicks) invalidates the fast because these substances enter the lungs through inhalation, and the lungs are considered part of the body cavity (jauf).

Whoever uses them must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month and make up for that day after Ramadan.

However, if it is merely a scent and none of its substance reaches the body cavity, it does not break the fast.
