Penggunaan Ubat Penyakit Jantung Bagi Pesakit-Pesakit Yang Sedang Berpuasa
Does using heart medication break the fast of a patient who is fasting?
Short answer
The 7th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee in 1984 ruled that medication used to treat a fasting heart patient does not invalidate the fast if it is not introduced through a bodily cavity.

Summary
The 7th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee in 1984 ruled that medication used to treat a fasting heart patient does not invalidate the fast if it is not introduced through a bodily cavity. The condition is that the patient is certain that his saliva does not pass into the cavity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
ubat yang digunakan untuk merawat pesakit jantung yang sedang berpuasa tanpa dimasukkan melalui rongga anggota, tidak membatalkan puasanya dengan syarat diyakini air liurnya tidak masuk melalui rongga.
