In terms of medical treatments,

00:00:04--> 00:00:53

whilst one is fasting, such as nasal drops, sub lingual tablets to be used under the tongue, or medical investigations where things are inserted into your body are these things permitted to fast. There are a variety of treatments and investigations. The list is long we can have full episode on this tablet permit us to discuss all this. I'll just mention a few which comes to my mind. As far as sublingual tablets are concerned, they are normally taken for angina person has a heart problem, he takes it this sublingual tablet is kept beneath the tongue, it is not supposed to be followed. And it is not a sort of food or nourishment. It gets absorbed and the treatment is done. So because of

00:00:53--> 00:01:12

this ruling, it does not read the faster you should not swallow the tablet, it goes subcutaneously it gets absorbed without going to the throat. If you use nasal drops, as long as the needle drop does not go to throw them to the stomach, it's permitted. If you put your drops also, it's permitted as I mentioned earlier, or if you

00:01:13--> 00:01:35

CD syringe the year even that's permitted. As far as investigations are concerned, if you do a poor vaginal investigation, whether you insert a finger or you insert an instrument, it's permitted. Or for treatment, if you insert a vaginal pessary or you infer the damage or any instrument it's permitted.

00:01:37--> 00:01:43

If you insert an instrument in the uterus, or any device known as IUD, intrauterine device

00:01:45--> 00:01:45

or

00:01:47--> 00:01:55

you insert a catheter, for investigation or scope, all these are permitted. Even in third in the urinary tract, there is the greater

00:01:56--> 00:02:03

a catheter or inject the dye for doing investigation, it does not break the fast.

00:02:05--> 00:02:19

Similarly, if you take any injection that I mentioned earlier, subcutaneous or intravenous, or intramuscular, as long as it is not a nourishment for the body, it's the nutrient for the body, it doesn't substitute the food, it's formatted.

00:02:20--> 00:02:24

If it has aptitude, it breaks the fast. Furthermore,

00:02:25--> 00:02:42

if you take a little bit blood from the body for testing, that doesn't break the fast also. And if you apply certain creams, maybe cream or lotion or medical ointment on the skin and it gets absorbed by the skin, this tool does not

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

break the fast and it is perfectly permitted.

00:02:46--> 00:02:49

And if you take other treatments,

00:02:50--> 00:02:56

like for example, if you do a laparoscopy in which there is a small insertion made

00:02:57--> 00:03:26

on the abdomen and insert a scope with the for investigation or whether for treatment or for a surgery it permitted. If you do gastroscopy in sort of scope into the stomach, as long as you do not put in some fluids or some nourishment, it's permitted for investigation, if you put an instrument in the spinal cord, to examine the spinal cord or to see how the brain is functioning, all these are permitted, if you do enema,

00:03:28--> 00:03:53

even that permitted, and you can go on and on as long as the basic rule is that it should not enter the body to the mouth or through the nose or it should not be a nourishment. Otherwise if it enters any other part of the body, any instrument whether it be the urethra within the uterus, whether the vagina all these things are the basic rule. It does not be the first because it is not giving food to the body. And this is not the normal passage for food for the body.

00:03:55--> 00:03:56

All these implemented
