Hadith 4.3

Fasting

ENGLISH

‘Ata’ said, “If one rinses his mouth and ejects the water in it, swallowing his saliva and anything that remains in it does him no harm; but one should not chew gum, for although I do not say that he breaks his fast [if] he swallows the saliva produced by the gum, he is nevertheless prohibited from doing it.” Bukhari transmitted it in a chapter heading.

ARABIC

وَعَن عَطاء قَالَ: إِن مضمض ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ مَا فِي فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ لَا يضيره أَنْ يَزْدَرِدَ رِيقَهُ وَمَا بَقِيَ فِي فِيهِ وَلَا يَمْضُغُ الْعِلْكَ فَإِنِ ازْدَرَدَ رِيقَ الْعِلْكَ لَا أَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ يُفْطِرُ وَلَكِنْ يُنْهَى عَنْهُ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ بَابٍ
