Can Watching Mukbang During Fasting Be Allowed? Here's the Explanation in the Book of Fiqh.
In mukbang, broadcasters usually eat a large amount of food while interacting with their audience.

Dream - Fasting becomes a moment where someone has to restrain themselves from eating and drinking. It starts from dawn until the time of Maghrib arrives. Only then are Muslims allowed to eat and drink again. In this month of Ramadan, Muslims fast for a full month. Of course, this is not an easy matter. There are always challenges and temptations that test human desires. One of them is food. Especially now, we often use social media where mukbang shows often appear, tempting our faith during the day.
When watching, automatically we immediately swallow saliva seeing the host devouring a lot of food that looks delicious.
Then, what is the ruling on watching mukbang during Ramadan fasting? Does it invalidate our fast? Well, here is the explanation as summarized by Dream through various sources.
Mukbang is a phenomenon that originated from South Korea where an individual or a group of people broadcast themselves eating live through online platforms such as YouTube or other streaming platforms.
The term "mukbang" itself comes from a combination of the Korean words "muk-da" (먹다) which means "to eat" and "bang-song" (방송) which means "broadcast". In mukbang, broadcasters usually eat a large amount of food while interacting with their viewers. This activity is often accompanied by conversations, comments, and reactions to the food they eat.
The audience usually watches mukbang for entertainment, experiencing the sensation of food through virtual experience, or as a way to alleviate loneliness. Some mukbang broadcasters also have a large fan base and can even earn income from sponsors and advertisements.
"In Islam, there are several things that can invalidate fasting. Below are some of them:"
Consuming food or drink intentionally during fasting will invalidate the fast.
Performing marital relations during fasting will invalidate the fast, except in certain situations such as when someone is traveling or sick.
If someone loses consciousness due to fainting or other reasons, then their fasting is considered nullified. However, if someone loses consciousness temporarily and then recovers, they must continue their fasting.
If someone forces themselves to vomit intentionally, then their fasting is considered invalid. However, if vomiting occurs unintentionally or without awareness, their fasting remains valid.
Releasing semen due to sexual stimulation, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will invalidate the fast. However, if it happens unintentionally, then a person must perform a ritual bath (cleanse themselves) and can continue their fast afterward.
"When fasting, such as during the month of Ramadan, are we allowed to watch mukbang shows? Here is the explanation."
Watching mukbang alone will not directly invalidate your fasting, my friend Dream. However, it can reduce your rewards depending on your intention. If you watch mukbang to disturb your appetite, then it can reduce the rewards of fasting. This is explained in a book called Fathul Muin by Syekh Zainuddin bin Abdul Abziz Al-Malibari and the book I'anatu al-Thalibin, which explains that imagining food through sound, sight, or touch is permissible.
\u0633\u0646 (\u0643\u0641) \u0646\u0641\u0633 \u0639\u0646 \u0637\u0639\u0627\u0645 \u0641\u064a\u0647 \u0634\u0628\u0647\u0629\u060c \u0648 (\u0634\u0647\u0648\u0629) \u0645\u0628\u0627\u062d\u0629. \u0645\u0646 \u0645\u0633\u0645\u0648\u0639\u060c \u0648\u0645\u0628\u0635\u0631\u060c \u0648\u0645\u0633 \u0637\u064a\u0628\u060c \u0648\u0634\u0645\u0647. Translation: "It is recommended to avoid doubtful foods and to restrain oneself from following permissible desires, whether it be through hearing, seeing, touching, or smelling." Artinya: "This means that it is not prohibited to watch mukbang videos or imagine food during fasting. However, following the desires of the viewers can diminish the value of the person's fasting."
How much better it is when fasting, friends of Dream can choose entertainment that can increase knowledge and bring oneself closer to Allah SWT. For example, watching or listening to religious lectures.
These words strengthen the spirit of Muslims to carry out fasting with sincerity.
