Swallowing Food Particles or Insects for a Fasting Person
Issue No. 1392- If small particles of food or an insect like a fly involuntarily enter the throat of a person who is fasting, and if it has gone so deep down the gullet that it cannot be thrown out, his fast will remain valid. However, if it is possible to take it out, he should do so and it will not harm the fast, but if he swallows it in this situation, his fast will be void.
