Can one take a steam bath while fasting or not?

Can one take a steam bath while fasting or not?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Taking a steam bath while in the state of fasting will cause one’s fast to become nullified, hence it should be avoided. However, if taking steam baths becomes necessary due to some kind of sickness, then it will be allowed, but it will also be incumbent to Qaza (redo) the fast of the day in which the steam bath was taken.
And Allah knows best.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کمافی الدر المختار؛ ومفاده أنه لو أدخل حلقه الدخان أفطر أي دخان كان ولو عودا أو عنبرا له ذاكرا لإمكان التحرز عنه فليتنبه له كما بسطه الشرنبلالي. (2/ 395)۔
وفی رد المحتار تحت (قوله: أنه لو أدخل حلقه الدخان) أي بأي صورة كان الإدخال، حتى لو تبخر ببخور وآواه إلى نفسه واشتمه ذاكرا لصومه أفطر لإمكان التحرز عنه وهذا مما يغفل عنه كثير من الناس، ولا يتوهم أنه كشم الورد ومائه والمسك لوضوح الفرق بين هواء تطيب بريح المسك وشبهه وبين جوهر دخان وصل إلى جوفه بفعله إمداد وبه علم حكم شرب الدخان ونظمه الشرنبلالي في شرحه على الوهبانية بقوله:
ويمنع من بيع الدخان وشربه ... وشاربه في الصوم لا شك يفطر
ويلزمه التكفير لو ظن نافعا ... كذا دافعا شهوات بطن فقرروا. (2/ 395)۔

And Allah knows best
Darulifta Jamia Binoria Aalamia
