1. Does the fast break if a person does a saline nasal rinse/nasal irrigation whilst fasting. The salt solution goes up one nostril and out the other. Sometimes the solution comes out the mouth as well.
2. If a person didn't know the masalah and did it whilst fasting, will their fast break?

Q: Will my fast during Ramadhaan break if water enters the anus while cleaning after defecating and sometime even reaching the stomach via the anus? Do I have to fast again or not?
Q: I know that kaffaarah fasts have to be kept consecutively, with no break in between. My question is that if a female has to keep kaffaarah fasts, then how will she keep them consecutively, taking into consideration that her haidh will come between the fasts?
Q: During fasting, I got a severe headache (while traveling) and vomited 3 hours before iftar. I tried to take some pills but didn’t take anything and went to sleep. I woke up about 15 mins after the Maghrib Adhan and did iftar. Is my fast is valid?

Q: I haven't been fasting for several years, maybe 5-6 years without any proper reason (laziness). Ramadhaan is coming next month. Do I have to record the years I haven't fasted for before I can fast in 2019? How much do I pay per day for the days I can't fast?
Q: My question is regarding the upcoming Ramadhaan.
I am a young married man of 33 years. I have no disease, Alhamdulillah, no limitations that I can postpone or quit my fast. I have been fasting for many years also. I have lived and experienced some normal 9 to 15 hours fast in Pakistan maximum and then in Dubai for 3 years with the same timings of fast. Now I have moved to Oslo, Norway. This Ramaadan will be my first here In Sha Allah.
As you know, Norway is among the country where sunrise and sunset is very long. This would be almost a 21 hour fast, which I feel is too long and the time for iftaar and sehri is too short, that I cannot make or feel the pleasure of iftaar, sehri and Taraweeh. In Oslo, iftaar will be around 11.30 pm and sehri will be at 2.00 am.
I feel that we must give proper time to iftaar and sehri as the fasting body needs it. I am thinking of fasting according to Saudia or a country nearby with normal time hours of fast. Can a person do this? Is there any Fatwa for this? As I do not know any other doing like this here in Oslo or not... and I am also thinking of offering Isha and Taraweeh at normal hours, which would be normal Asar or other time of Salah time here in Oslo in the Month of Ramadhaan.
Q: I have diagnosed with epilepsy. I have to take medicine twice a day after every 12 hours. Can I fast in Ramadhaan since I have to take medicines?
