The ruling on eye and ear drops and the diabetes injection for the fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Do eye and ear drops break the fast? And does the diabetes injection break the fast?
Answer:
As for the drop, many jurists have stated that the fasting person should avoid it because it may seep into his throat; if he tastes it in his throat, his fast is broken. There is a risk in this, so it is safer for the fasting person to avoid it until nightfall, which is the most cautious course and furthest from doubt. As for the diabetes injection, it does not break the fast because it is under the skin and does not enter the body cavity; it is only under the skin.
