Intravenous Drip during Fasting
Question:- Does a fast become void with the use of intravenous drip?
Answer:- In this case, the ruling is that a fast does not become void with the use of an intravenous drip. A fast becomes void only when something goes into the body from its original sources of intake i.e., through the mouth, nose etc., and it reaches the stomach or brain. In the case of an intravenous drip, the fluid or the medicine reaches inside the body via body pores. Therefore, in this condition the fast does not become void.
