The Ruling on Swallowing Medicine While Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: I was fasting a voluntary fast, and my blood pressure rose, so the doctor prescribed me a pill. I swallowed it while I was fasting and completed my fast. Did I break my fast, and do I have to make it up?
Answer:
Yes, if it is an obligatory fast, such as Ramadan, a vow, or an expiation, then swallowing the pill intentionally invalidates the fast for that day. So you must fast one day in its place. Yes.
