The ruling on taking nutritional injections during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am in Ramadan, Shaykh, and I take nutritional injections on the doctor's orders because I have malnutrition and have been ill for years. What is the ruling on taking them in Ramadan, and do I have to make up the fasts?
Answer:
If you cannot fast except by using feeding tubes, these are things that break the fast because they carry the ruling of eating and drinking. So if you cannot fast except by taking these nutrients, you do not have to fast. However, this would be considered a chronic illness, so you are required to feed one poor person as a fidyah (ransom payment) for every day. Yes.
