Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

What is the ruling regarding swallowing phlegm, accidentally or otherwise while fasting? Can you please give an example as well?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum,

Swallowing phlegm from within the mouth does not invalidate the fast in the Hanafi school, even if done intentionally. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi]

However, it is recommended to avoid swallowing phlegm, [ibid.] in a dignified manner, when reasonably possible.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
