Are medical injections given to a patient considered among the things that break the fast?

The questioner : Another question: Are medical injections given to a patient considered among the things that break the fast?

The Shaykh : Injections can be said to fall into two categories. Most of them do not break the fast, while a specific category does. Once you know the category that breaks the fast, you will know the first category. The category that breaks the fast is the injection intended to nourish the body of this person, whether he is sick or healthy. It is this injection that is hung up, the one whose foreign name I can hardly remember. What is its name?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : ... The important thing is that this one is hung up and the needle is inserted into a vein, and the patient lives on this injection until the supervising doctor sees that the time has come to treat his illness. This nourishing injection is the one that breaks the fast. Anything other than that does not break the fast. Every injection, whether it is in the vein, in the muscle, or in any part of the body, if its purpose is treatment and not through the stomach or through the nose, mostly, then it is among the things that do not break the fast. So the nourishing injection is the one that breaks the fast. Yes.
