Does gargling invalidate the fast?

Question: 22962

Is the fast invalidated by using gargles?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

The fast is not invalidated so long as one does not swallow it, but this should not be done unless it is necessary. It does not invalidate the fast so long as none of the medicine reaches the stomach.
