If someone has a throat infection and is coughing up green or yellow colored sputum if such sputum is swallowed will this invalidate the fast? Similarily if someone has a runny nose from the flu or common cold which is producing clear mucus, if this mucus is swallowed will the fast be invalidated?
Answer
Swallowing Mucus or sputun does not invalidate the fast.
