Ruling on administering anesthesia to a fasting person for a surgical operation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q361: The questioner says: A man underwent a surgical operation during the day in Ramadan while he was fasting, and he was given an anesthetic. Is his fast for that day valid, or is he required to make it up? It is known that he regained consciousness during the day.
A361: If there is no other medication with the anesthetic, and it is merely an anesthetic that causes him to lose his mind and consciousness, and then he returns to normal, this does not affect his fast, provided he did not use other things with the anesthetic that invalidate the fast.
