Summary
This ruling states that inserting a camera into the ear canal breaks the fast, and the fast must be made up later. The ear counts as an open passage leading to the inner cavity, like the mouth, front passage and rear passage. Acts done unintentionally through forgetfulness or under compulsion do not break the fast. Putting medicine into the eye does not break the fast because the eye is not an open passage.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
