Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i explains that neither fainting nor vomiting invalidates the fast. He notes that the hadith stating involuntary vomiting does not require making up the fast is weak, and therefore should not be relied upon.

Swimming while fasting is not recommended because water can enter the mouth and throat, which may break the fast. This applies to both salt water and fresh water, as it is possible for water to go down the throat during swimming.

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī addresses the ruling on using an asthma inhaler while fasting. He explains that since the inhaler does not contain food or drink, it is unclear whether it invalidates the fast, and further clarification is required regarding its contents and effect.

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī explains that a fasting woman may taste food with the tip of her tongue while cooking to check its flavour, provided she does not swallow anything. He clarifies that this does not break the fast, as long as nothing is ingested.

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī explains the ruling on kissing and fondling one’s wife while fasting. He highlights the example of the Prophet ﷺ, who kissed his wives during Ramaḍān, and states that it is permissible unless one fears it will lead to intercourse, in which case it must be avoided.

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī clarifies the ruling on experiencing a wet dream while fasting in Ramaḍān. He explains that there is no expiation required, and the person should perform ghusl (major ablution) and continue fasting, even if it occurs after Fajr or during the day.

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi’i explains that there is no prohibition for a menstruating woman to touch or read the Qur’an, nor to attend classes or lessons in the masjid. The hadith preventing this is weak, and the Prophet ﷺ allowed women to participate in most worship activities during menstruation.
