Water going down the throat when gargling or rinsing the nose while fasting

Q: While fasting, if water goes down the throat when gargling the mouth or rinsing the nose in wudhu or ghusl, will the fast break?

A: If one was aware that he was fasting at the time the water seeped down the throat or nostril, the fast will break. If one was unaware of being in the state of fasting, the fast will not break.

(وإن أفطر خطأ كأن تمضمض فسبقه الماء)

قال العلامة ابن عابدين رحمه الله: (قوله: وإن أفطر خطأ) شرط جوابه قوله التي قضى فقط وهذا شروع في القسم الثاني وهو ما يوجب القضاء دون الكفارة … (قوله: فسبقه الماء) أي يفسد صومه إن كان ذاكرا له (رد المحتار 2/401)

وإن تمضمض أو استنشق فدخل الماء جوفه إن كان ذاكرا لصومه فسد صومه وعليه القضاء (الفتاوى الهندية 1/202)

قلت: فإن تمضمض رجل في شهر رمضان فسبقه الماء فدخل حلقه قال عليه قضاء ذلك اليوم إذا كان ذاكرا لصومه فإن كان ناسيا لصومه فلا شيء عليه (الأصل للشيباني 2/201)

ولو تمضمض فوصل الماء إلى حلقه فإن لم يكن ذاكرا للصوم لا يفسد صومه لأنه في معنى الناسي وإن كان ذاكرا لصومه يفسد صومه عندنا (تحفة الفقهاء 1/354)
