Summary
An injection containing food substances, such as glucose, taken during the day in Ramadan breaks the fast. It is regarded as food by custom because it can satisfy hunger like ordinary food. This is attributed to the fatwa of Sheikh Atiyyah Saqr.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Suntikan yang mengandungi bahan makanan, seperti glukos pada siang hari di bulan Ramadan membatalkan puasa kerana dianggap makanan pada uruf yang boleh mengenyangkan, seperti makanan biasa.
