788. ‘Āsim bin Laqīṭ bin Ṣabrah narrated from his father who said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allāh! Inform me about Wudū’.” So he said: “Perform Wudū[1] well, and go between the fingers, and perform Istinshāq[2] extensively except when fasting.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. The people of knowledge dislike sniffing (water) for the fasting person, and they consider that to break his fast, and in this Hadīth there is support for their saying.
٧٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ الْوَرَّاقُ وَأَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبِرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: «يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ! قَالَ: أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ، وَخَلِّلْ بَيْنَ الْأَصَابِعِ»، وَبَالِغْ فِي الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ كَرِهَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ السُّعُوطَ لِلصَّائِمِ، وَرَأَوْا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُفْطِرُهُ. وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ مَا يُقَوِّي قَوْلَهُمْ.

From this Hadīth, the scholars derived a rule and principle that if something reaches the uppermost part of the nostril or stomach it will void the fast. So if the mouth is rinsed excessively or water is sniffed up into the nose excessively, thus water can go to the uppermost part of the nostril or to the stomach, therefore doing so excessively while one is fasting is not allowed.
