The ruling on intramuscular or intravenous injections for a fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on intramuscular or intravenous injections during Ramadan, when they are for treatment and pain relief?
Answer:
The correct view is that there is no harm in them, but if he delays them until night, that is more cautious. Otherwise, they do not invalidate the fast. Intramuscular injections are less and easier. As long as they are for relieving pain, there is nothing wrong with them, or for numbing a limb so that it can be treated; there is nothing wrong with that. As for nutritional injections, they break the fast.
