مسائل المنتخبه (Articles Of Islamic Acts) - الخوئي، السيد أبوالقاسم - الصفحة ٣٣٧ - THINGS WHICH MAKE A FAST VOID
I. EATING AND DRINKING
١٥٨٢. If a person eats or drinks something
intentionally. while remembering that he is fasting, his fast becomes
void, and it is immaterial whether the thing whichhe eats or drinks is
usually eaten or drunk (for example bread and water) or not (for example
earth or the juice of a tree) or whether it is more or less, so much so
that ifa person, who is fasting, takes the toothbrush (Miswak) out of
his mouth and then puts it in his mouth again, and swallows its liquid,
his fast will be nullified, unless thewetness of the tooth-brush mixes
up with the saliva of his mouth and becomes extinct in such a manner
that it may no longer be called an external wetness.
١٥٨٣. If while eating and drinking a person
realizes that it is dawn, he should throw the morsel out of his mouth.
and if he swallows it intentionally, his fast isvoid and according to
the orders which will be narrated later, it also becomes obligatory on
him to make an atonement.
١٥٨٤. If a person, who is fasting, eats or drinks something by mistake, his fast does not become invalid.
١٥٨٥. There is no objection to an injection
which anesthetizes ones limb or is used for some other purpose, being
given to a person, who is observing fast, and itis better that the
injections which are used as medicine or food should be avoided.
١٥٨٦. If a person observing fast intentionally swallows some- thing. which remains in between his teeth, his fast is invalidated.
١٥٨٧. If a person wishes to observe a fast, it
is not necessary for him to use a toothpick before the Azan for dawn
prayers. However, if he knows that someparticles of food has remained in
between his teeth. which will go down into his stomach during the day,
and if he does not use a toothpick and something goes down into
h$stomach his fast becomes void.
١٥٨٨. Swallowing saliva does not invalidate a
fast, although it may have got collected in ones mouth owing to ones
thinking about sour things etc.
