The Ruling on Using Kohl and Eye Drops for the Fasting Person

The fourth question in the letter from the sister Istibriq from Iraq, in which she says: During my fasting in the month of Ramadan, I put an eye drop in my eye before the time of abstaining, and I did not know that it was one of the things that break the fast. After I learned this from your program in one of the episodes, I forgot about it and put the drop in, and it went down to the throat. I felt it when I sensed some bitterness in my mouth. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter? Please inform us, may Allah reward you?
Answer: The correct view is that the eye drop and kohl do not break the fast, and there is disagreement among the scholars on this issue. If the taste of the kohl or the drop reaches the throat, some scholars said that it breaks the fast, but the correct view is that it does not break the fast; because it is not a passage. The eye is not a passage. However, if one does so out of caution and to avoid the disagreement, there is nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, the correct view is that it does not break the fast. The drop in the ear and in the eye, and the kohl in the eye, the correct view for all of this is that it does not break the fast of the fasting person; because the eye is not a passage. Yes.
