The ruling on using eye or ear drops for a fasting person

Question:
This one is also asking: What is the ruling on using drops in the eye or the ear?

Answer:
The precaution is to avoid them because they are a passage. If he uses them and finds their taste in his throat, he must make up that day. Initially, he should avoid them and stay away from them. But if he uses them and they seep into his throat and he finds their taste there, he breaks his fast with that, meaning his fast becomes invalid and he must make up that day. Yes. If he is certain, O Shaykh, that it was swallowed or… If it did not reach his throat, then he made a mistake in taking it, but his fast is valid. Yes.
