Assalamua'laikum,
Ya ikhwan,
May this reach all of you in the best of Imaan and Health as bestowed by Allaah azza wajalla. Ameen
I have a question.
A lady who is a mother called me and asked whether will using a Ventolin inhaler while she is fasting during the day invalidates her fast.
She is obviously an asthmatic person. Being a mildly asthmatic myself, i don't use one, since 3 years ago, Alhamdulillaah. Thus i know the feeling of being constricted while breathing and how difficult it is to do other work if we are weezing, let alone if one is fasting. The test is much steeper. The inhaler is not like a pill that you can pop it in or pump it before the fajar. We use inhaler when we feel that the weezing attack comes or about to come.
Thus, has anyone found any statement by our Kibaar Ulama' as to whether a person can use the inhaler while he or she is fasting. Appreciate the help. Jazakumullaahu khaeran kathiron.
Wassalamua'laikum waRahmatullaahi waBarakaatuh.

Al-Hamdu-Lillaahi Rabbil-'Aalameen was-Salaatu was-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa.e wal-Mursaleen, wa ba'd:
Using an Inhaler During for the Fasting Person
Question:
What is the ruling on a fasting person using an inhaler for breathing problems, and does it break the fast?
Answer:
This spray is vaporised and does not reach the stomach, so in that case, we say that there is no objection to using it when you are fasting, and it will not cause you to break your fast, because as we have said, none of its particles enter the stomach. Since it is something that is defused and vaporised, and it disappears, then none of it reaches the stomach, therefore it is permissible for you to use it when you are fasting and the fast is not invalidated by it.

wa alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaah yaa akhee Abu Rashideen
I am have asthma my self, and i came across this fatwa from the book
Guidelines & Fataawa Related to Sickness and Medical Practice page 187
Question:
Does the fast become nullified by the use of an inhaler?
Answer:
It dose not nullify it, so long as you do not swallow it. But do not use it unless there is absolute necessity, and your fast is not broken so long as nothing of it goes into your stomach
