The ruling on eye drops for the fasting person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), regarding eye drops, does using them during the day in Ramadan break the fast if there is a dire necessity?

Answer:
Yes. The liquid placed in the eye seeps into the throat, and a person can taste it in his throat. Therefore, it is better not to use the drop while fasting; leave it for the night, because there is a fear that it will affect his fast. Yes.
