Do nourishing injections break the fast?

Question : Among the questions, Honorable Shaykh, we ask about nourishing and non-nourishing injections. Many of the listening brothers ask about them. Do they break the fast, Honorable Shaykh Muhammad?

Answer : Yes, injections are of two types. The first type is nourishing injections, meaning those by which one dispenses with food and drink. These appear to break the fast.
They are generally not used except in cases of dire necessity, and dire necessity permits a person to break his fast, and he must make up a day in its place, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: . These are what are known as nourishing injections.
As for the other injections that do not nourish, they do not break the fast, whether a person takes them in the muscle or in the vein, and whether he feels their heat in his throat or not. This is because they are not eating or drinking, nor are they in the meaning of eating and drinking.
If that is not the case, we would not dare to invalidate the fasting of Allah’s servants with a matter that the Qur’an, the Sunnah, scholarly consensus, or analogical reasoning does not indicate. Rather, we say the default is the validity of the fast. We do not deviate from this default except with certainty. This is what we hold regarding the issue of injections. May Allah reward you with good.
Were it not that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith of Luqman ibn 'Ubayd: , were it not for this, we would have said that even nourishing injections do not break the fast. Because a person, even if he dispenses with food and drink by them, does not obtain through them the pleasure he obtains in food and drink in taste, in filling the stomach, and in dispelling hunger. Indeed, we see that those who are nourished by these injections find themselves longing greatly for food and drink. In any case, the matter is as I said: the summary is that nourishing injections, by which one dispenses with food and drink, break the fast in our view, so it is not permissible to use them for one whose fast is obligatory except in cases of dire necessity. In that case, he uses them and makes up a day for that day. As for injections that do not nourish, meaning those by which one does not dispense with food and drink, they do not break the fast.
