The Effect of a Drop and Nutritional Fluid on Voluntary Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The nutrient, Honorable Shaykh, in voluntary fasting, does that also break the fast? And what is your opinion if a person needs these things, such as the droplet, the nutrient, and others?
Answer:
The droplet is not a nutrient, and if it does not reach his throat, it does not affect his fast. As for the nutrient that is taken through nutrient injections or through blood that is injected into the patient to resuscitate him, this breaks the fast of the one who is fasting because it nourishes the body and takes the place of eating. Yes.
