Applying lip-ice whilst fasting

Question:


Please can you advise me as to whether you can apply lip balm to dry cracked lips in ramadaan?


Answer:


The fast will not become invalid by using lip balm or Lip-ice. However, it is best that one abstains from using Lip-ice or lip balm whilst fasting if there is no real need.



And Allah Knows Best
