The Ruling on Injections in the Womb and Their Effect on Fasting

Question : Honorable Shaykh, there is a woman who received an injection in the womb on this day. This injection is necessary, and she has an appointment to get a color ultrasound, and this injection must be taken. She has already taken the injection, and a significant amount of blood came out as a result. Does she have to make up this day?

Answer : The correct view is that injections do not break the fast at all, no matter what, unless they are used to replace food and drink, meaning if they are...
...placed in the patient such that he does not need food and drink, then we say that this is equivalent to food and drink, so it breaks the fast. A person does not take it except out of necessity, and if he is compelled to take it, he takes it and breaks his fast. Praise be to Allah. We say this, and I tell you frankly, we say this while asking Allah to forgive us, because a person might say that comparing it to food and drink is an analogy with a difference. What is the difference?
He says that food and drink involve pleasure and enjoyment through eating and drinking, unlike this. This benefits the body just as food and drink benefit the body, if we assume that its benefit to the body is equal to the benefit of food and drink. But the pleasure of eating, chewing, and having it in the stomach does not occur with this addition. It is possible that Allah forbade food and drink because of the pleasure and nutrition they contain.
Therefore, they say that a sick person finds a great longing for food and drink in himself, even if he is being nourished by this. So there is a deficiency in it. But we say that it breaks the fast, and if a person needs it, he only needs it in illness. And if he is sick, it is permissible for him to break his fast and make it up. Yes. Yes. As for the blood, it does not harm, because it is not cupping, and she did not take this for the sake of the blood. And we propose that the lesson be held until eleven, and it will be, if Allah wills, on the night of Monday and the night of Thursday of every week. We ask Allah to join us and you in good, and to make our work righteous and sincere for Allah.
