There's like 2 hours left for Iftaar and I was doing wudhu for Asr and while gargling, water entered my throat by accident , not in the normal fashion, and immediately I spit everything out. I know it didn't go down my throat all the way, as I didn't swallow it, but it did enter it, but before going further, I coughed and forced it out.

According to this from Taleemul Haq this breaks your fast.

"Water goes down the throat whilst gargling, conscious of one' fasting."

Is the fast is broken? Does this mean ONLY if I actually swallowed the water or just for entering my throat deep enough it's broken? Even though I spit it all out even down to the last of any saliva I had left?

It's depressing this happens 2 hours away from Iftaar. I felt sick in the morning, and I was planning on not fasting for today, but I did anyway, and now it's broken?

11. Whilst rinsing the mouth, water went down the throat and the person knew that he was fasting. His fast will break, qada will be wajib, but there will be no kaffarah on him.

Allah looks at your intention and will reward you for your efforts...all is not lost. Allah made it happen that way just accept it and make it up after ramadan.

A few days ago a brother came into the masjid and was disappointed to hear the adhaan go. He sat down and told the maulana I had already opened my fast at home and now I have come to the masjid and I hear the adhaan. Will I have to make it up? The Imaam replied he will have to make that fast up after Ramadhan. The brother was very upset and distressed thinking he would be punished for having opened his fast early. The Imaam replied that rather Allah SWT will not punish him for his mistake, and will rather reward him for having kept that fast. The only difference is he will have to keep an extra fast for having opened it early but he will not be punished (provided he keeps the extra one) and will rather be rewarded as it was an honest mistake.

Such is the mercy of Allah SWT The Most Merciful, The Most Forgiving. May Allah SWT continue to shower His blessings on all of Muslims on Earth and grant Hidaayah to all the Muslims and Non-Muslims. Ameen.
