Summary
Seven things invalidate the fast: eating and drinking, an object reaching the inner cavity of the body through an open passage, intentional vomiting, sexual intercourse, intentionally emitting semen, the onset of menstruation or postnatal bleeding, and insanity or apostasy. They invalidate the fast when done intentionally, except insanity, while acts done unintentionally, by forgetfulness or under compulsion do not. For asthma patients using an inhaler, the ruling preferred is that it does not break the fast, on grounds of necessity and other reasons.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Semuanya membatalkan puasa apabila dilakukan secara sengaja (kecuali gila), jika tidak sengaja, terlupa dan dipaksa, maka tidak batal.
