What takes the place of eating and drinking among the things that break the fast: examples and evidence.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : With the consent of both parties. Have you seen zina (unlawful sexual intercourse)? Allah made the ruling in it comprehensive for both the man and the woman
The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes الزانية والزاني فاجلدوا كل واحد منهما مئة جلدة
[An-Nur 24:2]
because each of them participated in the crime. This is the answer regarding the issue of the woman. These are three things that break the fast of the fasting person.
The fourth: what takes the place of eating and drinking. So who will provide an example and evidence? No, not one person other than you. Yes.

The questioner : Analogical reasoning (qiyas).

The Shaykh : What is the evidence before you say analogical reasoning? Because analogical reasoning exposes you to opposition. They say, "Analogical reasoning is not evidence."

The questioner :
It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance الله الذي أنزل الكتاب بالحق والميزان
[Ash-Shuraa 42:17]
.

The Shaykh :
It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance الله الذي أنزل الكتاب بالحق والميزان
[Ash-Shuraa 42:17]
Another verse. Who remembers the second verse?
We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. لقد أرسلنا رسلنا بالبينات وأنزلنا معهم الكتاب والميزان ليقوم الناس بالقسط
[Al-Hadid 57:25]
What is the indication from this verse that what takes the place of eating has the ruling of eating? His saying:
The balance. الميزان
So if we weigh what takes the place of eating against eating and drinking, and they are equal, then what is their ruling?

The questioner : One.

The Shaykh : One. So their ruling is one. What is the example? Where is our doctor from yesterday?

The questioner : Nutritional injections.

The Shaykh : Glucose. Nutritional injections. Well done. May Allah reward you.
