The ruling on an insulin injection for a fasting person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is about the insulin injection that a diabetic patient uses for treatment: does it break the fast?

Answer:
Insulin does not break the fast, because it is under the skin and does not go into the blood vessels or the stomach; it is only under the skin. Likewise, intramuscular injections that are given in the muscle do not have an effect, because they do not go into the stomach or the blood vessels; they are only under the skin. Yes.
