Ruling on the use of nutritional injections by a fasting person during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q357: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a sick person taking nutritional injections during the day in Ramadan?
A357: Nutritional injections break the fast by scholarly consensus; because they take the place of food and drink. As for non-nutritional injections, this is a matter of disagreement. If they are intramuscular, they do not have an effect. If they are intravenous, they are a matter of consideration and disagreement, provided they are non-nutritional. However, if they are nutritional, there is no disagreement that they break the fast.
