If thread like particles of miswak goes into my throat while performing ablution during fasting, does it break the fast?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
(1) While performing ablution (wudhu) in fasting, if thread like particles of miswak goes into my throat, then the fast will be valid or broken.
(2) While performing ablution (wudhu) in fasting, if thread like particles of miswak goes into my throat and by making effort I spit out some of the particles, then the fast will be valid or broken.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1241/1327/L=11/1438)

(1, 2) Fast will break if one uses miswak in the state of fast and swallows the particles of miswak intentionally and qaza is necessary whether the particles are less or more. However if one or two particles of miswak enter down the throat without intention then fast will not be invalid as it is not possible to avoid it.

وما ليس بمقصود بالاكل ولا يمكن الاحتراز عنه كالذباب إذا وصل إلى جوف الصائم ، لم يفطره ، ولو أخذ الذباب وأكله يجب عليه القضاء دون الكفارة . هنديه : 1/266/كتاب الصوم/الباب الرابع فيما يفسد وما لا يفسد ط: زكريا واذا ابتلع ما لا يتغذى به ولا يتداوى به عامة كالحجر والتراب لا يوجب الكفارة ولو ابتلع حصاة …. فعليه القضاء هنديه : 1/265 كتاب الصوم / الباب الرابع فيما يفسد وما لا يفسد ط: زكريا.
