Using eye drops while fasting
Question
I have an eye inflammation which requires me to use eye drops five times a day. Will it be permissible to use it while fasting?
Answer
Yes, it is permissible. Inserting eye drops into the eye does not cause the fast to break.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
