Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by IslamicSolutions.org

Shortened Question:

Does your fast breaks if water enters the nose?

Question:

Does your fast breaks if water enters your nose during Wudu or Ghusl?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

During Wudu one should put water into the nostrils up to the soft bone. If the water passes the soft bone of the nostrils and goes down the throat of a fasting person, his fast would automatically be broken. (Bahishti Zewar – Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (RA); Vol.1; pg; 49)

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
