Does tasting sweat or swallowing mucus unintentionally or intentionally break the fast?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalamu’alaykum

While fasting, sometimes I am invlovled in such exercises which results in heavy sweating. This sweat then drys up. I would like to know if while licking your lips, and then tasting the salty taste of sweat, and then swallowing that saliva (usually because it’s not appropriate to spit it out at that time), is the fast broken??
And what if a person swallows his mucus (not out of an intention to pacify the hunger, but because the person is in such a situation where it is not appropriate for him to spit, e.g. a lecture theatre), does this break the fast?? If a person swallows the above two things intentionally or unintentionally, is the ruling the same?

Jazakallah

Answer
Bismillah

Al-Jawab Billahi At-Taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

No, the fast is not broken (in both situations) whether done intentionally or unintentionally.

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
