Does a patient who breathes through oxygen break his fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The oxygen that is placed on the patient's mouth, which is mostly on his mouth, does it break the fast?
Answer : The oxygen given to the patient does not break the fast, because this oxygen has no substance that reaches the stomach for us to say that he ate or drank. Rather, it is cold and opens the vessels so that a person can breathe. Accordingly, it is not eating or drinking, and whatever is not eating or drinking, nor in the meaning of eating and drinking, does not break the fast. Yes.
