Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
Swallowing mucus from the head and chest that does not reach the mouth does not invalidate the fast. However, if it reaches the mouth, it is recommended to avoid swallowing it.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is recommended to avoid swallowing anything that comes from the chest or descends from the head if it reaches the mouth. However, if it does not reach the mouth, there is no issue with it.
