Tasting Food for the Fasting Person
One day during Ramadan, I cooked food for the neighbors and tasted it, feeling the flavor in my mouth. Since that day, I have been afraid that something entered my stomach without me knowing. Do I have to fast for two consecutive months? If the answer is yes, what is the method of fasting, especially when I have my period during the two months?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Tasting food and feeling its flavor in one's mouth does not break the fast unless one feels its taste in their throat; in that case, it breaks the fast, and they must make up the fast if it was done by mistake, and there is no expiation for it. And God knows best.
