Using an inhaler whilst fasting
Question
What is the ruling in regards to using a nasal spray to control sinus and congestion whilst fasting. Also, what about taking an injection while fasting?
Answer
By using an inhaler whilst fasting, the fast will be invalidated, hence, it is not permitted.
There is no problem in taking an injection whilst fasting as long as the injection is not administered directly into the stomach.
