Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are new things that have appeared in our time, O Shaykh, such as nutritional injections and others in hospitals.
Answer:
Injections fall into two, or rather three, categories when detailed. The first category is injections given in the muscle; they are not given in the vein, nor in anything that reaches the stomach. These do not break the fast according to all scholars. The second type is nutritional injections, and these break the fast of the one fasting according to all scholars because they take the place of eating and drinking. The third category is non-nutritional injections given through the vein that mix in the blood. Some scholars hold that they break the fast, and they are a minority; the majority hold that they do not break the fast either, because they are not nutritional. Yes.
