I wish to know whether it is permissible to put one’s nose a tube
That has Vicks that one inhales in order to open (open one’s air ducts)
Nasal congestion due to Flu & Cold. If a person uses it while fasting is
His fasting nullified and qadaa obligatory?

I used it while fasting (3 or 4 times) and thought it was Ok! I read
Some Islamic Books (rules & regulations of fasting) and found no
Mention whether inhaling Vicks invalidates the fast. Only inhaling snuff
(powder) and asthma sufferers are not allowed to use their inhaler while
Fasting.

Now I am having second thoughts whether my fasting is valid or not.
Is kaafara necessary?

Please help me to clarify. I follow Hanafi madhab.A prompt reply would be
Appreciated.

Read that, hope it helps.

If my answer is wrong, please let me know.

I don't know the Islam answer, but in Christianity medicine does not count. This should be no different than any other medicine I would think. So can Moslems not take medicine while fasting?
