The Ruling on Eye and Ear Drops and Injections in Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Likewise, he mentions alcohol and drops in the eye and the ear.
Answer:
And drops do not break the fast, neither in the ear nor in the eye. However, it is better to administer them at night, or to avoid the doubt, or if there is no water. If it is a drop, an injection, all of this does not break the fast. But if it is for nutrition, if he is taking injections for nutrition, these break the fast, because he is nourished by them. As for a drop in the eye, in the ear, an injection in the muscle, or in a vein, but it is better and more cautious to administer them at night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave what leaves you in doubt for what leaves you without doubt." Administering them at night is more appropriate, better, more cautious, and further from doubt, except if they are injections for nutrition, by which he is nourished, then the fast is broken.
