Assalamuaykum. Hope you are well.
I want to know if it’s permissible to use lip balm or chopstick whilst one is fasting?
Jazakallah.
Wa Alaikum Assalaam,
الجواب و بالله التوفيق
Yes, it is permissible to use these. However, one must not allow the taste/substance of these go in his mouth.
And Allah Knows Best.
