Nullifying Factors

Question

Does sublingual medication break the fast?

Answer

Sublingually administered medications are dissolved underneath the tongue before passing directly into the bloodstream. It is inevitable that particles of the medication will enter the throat (when placed under the tongue) resulting in the fast being nullified.

ALLAH TA’ALA IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
