Question:
Yes, we have a call from Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz from Riyadh. Well, Shaykh, if you please, may Allah preserve you, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy. When the family goes to the dentist and she is fasting, they ask about the anesthesia. Does the anesthesia break the fast, Doctor, or Shaykh? Is there another question? No, may Allah bless you. Thank you, Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz, please, Shaykh.
Answer:
Local anesthesia in the teeth does not affect the fast, but she should spit it out so that nothing goes into her stomach, and she is able to spit it out. She must not intentionally swallow anything while she is fasting.
