The ruling on using eye drops for a fasting person if their taste reaches the throat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah answer you. This questioner says that his medical condition requires him to put drops in his eye while fasting, and that their taste may reach his throat. What is the ruling?
Answer:
If their taste reaches his throat, he does not put them in; he leaves them for the night, unless he has become ill. If he is ill in the eye, or if he is a sick person, Allah has granted him a dispensation to break his fast, so he treats himself and makes up that day. As for if it is not necessary to put the drops in during the day, he puts them in at night and delays them. Yes.
