f:149 - Does smoke from vehicles break the fast	Country : Not mentioned, Name : Syed Ilyas Bakhtiyar

Question: Nowadays, traffic and pollution has increased quite a bit. The smoke released by the vehicles has also increased. What should we do if while fasting, the smoke etc. released by the vehicles enters our throat? ............................................................................
Answer: Smoke whether it is released from vehicles or from any other source, if it enters the throat of the fasting person involuntarily, without his/her intention, it does not invalidate the fast. As given in Fatawa A’alamgiri, Vol. 1, Pg No: 203: Translation: Whether it is smoke or dust raised by the feet of the animals, if it enters the throat of a fasting person, it does not invalidate the fast as it is not possible to save oneself from it. Thus, if smoke from vehicles enters the throat of a fasting person without any intention, it does not break the fast. And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) knows best.
