A fasting person scratched inside his ear with a stick

Question
A fasting person scratched inside his ear with a stick?
Answer
His fast is not invalidated by the consensus of the scholars, even if dirt comes out from his ear canal and he puts it back in repeatedly, as mentioned in Al-Durr Al-Mukhtar and Rad Al-Muhtar 2: 98.
