Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one takes suppositories through the anus, does that break the fast, or are they like the urethra?
Answer:
No, they are not like the urethra. They go to the stomach, they dissolve, they go to the stomach, and the walls of the stomach absorb them. Because the doctors were asked about them, and they said that the walls of the stomach absorb them, so it is not permissible for the fasting person? Yes.
