You are fasting
From this hadith scholars say that if a person is fasting he must not exaggerate in
Sniffing the water of his nostrils. Why?
because the passage from the nostrils goes directly to the stomach, so
You may drink water and you may sniff it and it would lead to the same passage to your stomach
And this is why scholars say that
if you put nose drops and
You find the taste in your throat
This breaks your fasting
But if you put eye drops
ear drops if you swim
this has no impact on your fasting even if you find the taste of ear drops or
eyedrops in your throat
Because this is not a normal passage to the stomach
But the nose is so using nasal drops
If you find the taste in your throat, or you lead it leads you to swallow some of it this
nullifies your fasting
