Question
Is it permisable to cook while fasting?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
It is permissible to cook whilst fasting.
“It is OK for a person to taste the food during the day whilst fasting, if necessary, and his fast is still valid so long as he does not deliberately swallow anything of it.”.
