Fasting: Does Using ‘Nās’ (Chewing Tobacco) Break the Fast?

English:

Question #757:

Some people use ‘nās,’ which is made up of tobacco and other constituents, and they put it under their tongues for a few minutes, then they spit it out. Does that void the fast?

Answer #757:

A fasting person should avoid – by obligatory caution – all kind of tobacco products. The same rule applies to the drugs which are absorbed through the nose/under the tongue.
