Summary
Taking oxygen gas while fasting does not invalidate the fast. The gas is air given to some patients and mostly enters the respiratory system. It contains no suspended particles or nutritious substances to be digested, so the ruling is the same as breathing ordinary air.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengambil Gas oksigen ketika berpuasa tidak membatalkan puasa, ia suatu perkara yang jelas, kerana ia sama seperti menghirup udara biasa.
