Question: What is the ruling on using intravenous injections and intramuscular injections, and what is the difference between them for a person who is fasting?
Answer: The correct view is that neither of them breaks the fast. Only nutritional injections break the fast. Similarly, drawing blood for analysis does not break the fast for the person fasting, because it is not like cupping. As for cupping, the one performing it and the one receiving it both break their fast according to the most correct opinion of the scholars, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
