A Fasting Person Bathed and Water Entered His Ear Without His Doing

Question
A fasting person bathed and water entered his ear without his doing?
Answer

His fast is not invalidated because it does not involve nourishment for the body, unlike if he had done it intentionally, in which case his fast would be invalidated according to the correct opinion, because it reached the stomach through his action, and nourishment for the body is not considered. As stated in the criteria for invalidators of fasting p.105, and Al-Hadiya Al-Alaiya p.161.
