Chapter on the Etiquettes of the Fasting Person, What Invalidates the Fast, and What Does Not Invalidate it
وَ كَانَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا صَامَ لاَ يَشَمُّ اَلرَّيْحَانَ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُخَلِّطَ صَوْمِي بِلَذَّةٍ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, when fasting, would not smell basil. He was asked about this, and Imam عليه السلام said: "I dislike mixing my fast with pleasure."
