The issue of sexual intercourse. The medical impossibility that remains for the patient.
The Shaykh:
Injections. If they are warm, and if they seep into the body cavity, they break the fast of the fasting woman. If they seep into the body cavity, they do not break the fast of the fasting man, because the anus is a passage to the body cavity and to the stomach.
The questioner:
And likewise, stomach washing. And likewise, stomach washing.
The Shaykh:
Stomach washing also, which is what they call an enema, lowers the fluid. Because introducing water and medicines into the stomach, entering into the stomach, this breaks the fast of the boy. Yes.
