HELP! FASTING QUESTION

Asalamu Alaikum, This will be my first Ramadan and I am a little confused. Are you allowed to rinse your nose with water during Wudu? I ask because a sister told me that you are not suppose to and then I read some where that it is disliked to rinse your nose many times, but it is ok for wudu. I am confused and we start fasting in my neck of the woods tomorrow Insha Allah. I would really appreciate a clarification. JazakAllah Khairyn.

As salaamu `alaykkum

It is proven that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to al-Laqeet ibn Saburah: “Do wudoo’ well and make the water go between your fingers, and be thorough in rinsing the nose, unless you are fasting.” So he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told him to do wudoo’ well then he said: “…and be thorough in rinsing the nose, unless you are fasting.” This indicates that the fasting person may rinse his mouth and nose, but he should not be too thorough in doing so lest the water reach his throat. As for rinsing the nose and mouth, they are essential when doing wudoo’ and ghusl, because they are obligatory parts of those actions, whether one is fasting or not. End quote.
