Do rectal suppositories break the fast?

The questioner : The questioner says: There are small pills that are inserted into the rectum and travel up the rectum to the intestines. They say that they break the fast. What is your opinion? Thank you.

The Shaykh : If these pills enter through the rectum and reach the stomach, settling there, then they break the fast. However, if they do not reach the stomach, the matter is doubtful. Some scholars stated that they break the fast, which is the well-known position in the school of thought. Others stated that they do not break the fast, as chosen by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). The preferred view is that a person must make up the fast if such a situation occurs, unless he is a traveler who does not fast. One must also exercise caution by not using these pills during the time of fasting, but rather delaying their use until the night, which is ample time, if Allah wills.
