Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If it happens unintentionally, it does not affect the validity of your fast.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If the water does not enter the stomach, there is no need to make up for the fast. If it reaches the stomach unintentionally, there is also no need to make it up. However, it is recommended to make it up if this occurs during ablution for a voluntary prayer, and in all cases if it is not for the obligatory prayer.
