The ruling on administering an insulin injection to a fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
According to your knowledge and your power, and my plaything has diabetes, and she is fourteen years old, and she uses these injections twice a day, so is fasting obligatory on her?
The Shaykh:
His wife.
The questioner:
And what about?
The Shaykh:
How are the people doing?
The questioner:
A person who has a severe case of diabetes and receives two injections at night, is it permissible for him to fast?
The Shaykh:
Insulin injections do not invalidate the fast because they are administered under the skin, not into the bloodstream, and they are not nourishing. There is no harm in them; what is under the skin does not affect the fast. Yes.
