Sitting in a room which has a humidifier on whilst fasting

Q: Is it permissible to sit in a room which has a humidifier on whilst fasting if there is only water in the humidifier?

A: It is permissible to sit in the room and the fast will not break. However, you should ensure that you do not inhale the steam vapour which comes out directly from the humidifier. If you inhale the steam vapour directly from the humidifier, your fast will break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
