Walekumussalam,(1) In the situation you described, if the food is made from items that belong to all partners, then taking it without permission is not correct. Since you already advised him to inform the other partners, you have done your responsibility. It is better to keep things clear and transparent in such matters so that there is no misunderstanding or anyone’s rights are affected.(2) While fasting, swallowing the small moisture of the lips or saliva does not break the fast, because it is normally from inside the mouth and it is difficult to avoid. However, it is not correct to intentionally put something from outside into the mouth and swallow it.
