Question

  What do Islamic scholars say about the following issue? If a person swallows the saliva that appears on his lip during conversation; will the Sawm(fast) become invalid in this case?

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

  During conversation or on any other occasion, if the lips of a person become wet with saliva which he swallows, then the Sawm(fast) will not become invalid in this case. However, one should be careful about swallowing this saliva.(Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 1, pp. 303; Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 983)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ  عَزَّوَجَلَّ  وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
