Question
Whilst one is fasting and one is praying tasbeeh and exercising, sweat drips into the mouth, but is spat out. How is the fast affected? Is it made makrooh?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
If sweat enters the mouth but not the throat, and it is spat out, the fast remains valid.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
