Rinsing One’s Mouth and Nostrils while Fasting

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الصَّائِمِ يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاةِ فَيَدْخُلُ الْمَاءُ حَلْقَهُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ وُضُوؤُهُ لِصَلاةِ فَرِيضَةٍ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ وُضُوؤُهُ لِصَلاةِ نَافِلَةٍ فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَضَاءُ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who takes wudu’ (ablution) and water enters in his throat. He (the Imam) said, ‘If his wudu’ (ablution) is for an obligatory Salat (prayer) there is not anything on him, but if it is for an optional Salat (prayer); he is required to make its Qada’ (compensatory fast).”’
