Summary
Peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis performed during the day in Ramadan do not invalidate the fast. Using an inhaler for asthma treatment does invalidate it. A patient who depends entirely on the inhaler is no longer obliged to fast, but must pay fidyah of one cupak of rice (688 grams) or a quarter of the current fitrah rate for each day missed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Rawatan dialysis peritoneal dan hemodealysis yang dilakukan oleh orang yang berpuasa pada siang hari bulan ramadan tidak membatalkan puasa.
