Issue 772: As a recommended precaution, one must avoid having any injection of tonics; but it is allowable to receive a drug or an anesthetic by injection; it is allowed to be put on a drip (liquid food) on the basis of an obligatory precaution.

Q773: Does it harm the fast to take spray drugs for those with pulmonary diseases?

A: Apparently, spray drugs used for pulmonary diseases do not render one’s fast void, because it is not considered eating or drinking.

Q774: Is it allowable for a fasting person, who is ill to receive tonics by injection in Ramadhaan?

Q775: Will it render one’s fast void if they take any medical drops like eye drops?

A: It will not invalidate the fast but it will be legally disapproved if the smell or taste reaches one’s throat.
