The Ruling on Using Perfumes During the Day in Ramadan for the Fasting Person

Question
What is the ruling on using perfumes during the day in Ramadan for the fasting person?
Answer
Fasting is not invalidated; because it is merely a scent that is related to the air without a body, so it does not invalidate the fast: like musk. Unlike incense, oud, amber, and others that have a substance, if it enters his throat without intention, it does not break the fast even if he is aware of his fast; due to not being cautious about it. However, if he intentionally brings it in, it invalidates his fast.
