Fasting person swallowing food remnants in his mouth
If any bits of food are left between the teeth of one who is fasting, is it regarded as breaking the fast if the fasting person swallows them?.


Praise be to Allaah.

If the fasting person wakes up and finds any bits of food between his teeth, this does not affect his fast, but he has to spit out these bits and get rid of them, and that does not affect his fast unless he swallows them. If he deliberately swallows any bits that are left between his teeth, this invalidate his fast. But if he swallows them because he is not aware of the ruling or because he forgets, this does not affect his fast. But the Muslim should be keen to clean his mouth and teeth after eating, whether he is fasting or not, because cleanliness is required of the Muslim. End quote

I found this in Islam Q&A, hope it helps isA.


Praise be to Allaah.

Acid reflux is something that happens involuntarily. A person may feel some acidity or bitter taste in his oesophagus but it does not reach the mouth. In this case it is not regarded as one of the things that invalidate the fast, because it does not come out to the mouth.

But if it comes out to the mouth, then in that case it comes under the ruling on reflux or vomiting.

The word qalas (translated above as reflux) was interpreted as meaning vomiting, or as referring to a small amount of vomit that reaches the throat but does not fill the mouth. And it was said that it was that which is regurgitated by the stomach when it is full.

See al-Majmoo’ by al-Nawawi, 4/4

The ruling on this is that if it is returned to the stomach when it could have been expelled, this breaks the fast, and if a person swallows it because he is unable to expel it, then it does not affect the fast. See question no. 12659.

It says in al-Sharh al-Sagheer (1/700) concerning qalas:

If he is not able to expel it – such as when it does not pass the throat – then he does not have to do anything.
Ibn Hazm said in al-Muhalla (4/225):

Reflux that comes out of the throat does not invalidate the fast, so long as the person does not deliberately swallow it back after it reaches the mouth when he is able to expel it.

I think, that according to the above,it all depends on whether or not it passed your throat, if it didn't and you were not able to expel it, then nothing's wrong with your fasting isA. But if it reached your mouth and you deliberately swallowed it, then you'll have to make up for that day. You're the one who should decide this. You said it didn't reach your mouth, so I guess it's ok and Allah knows best.
