Summary
Scholars differ on whether an IV drip during a fast is permissible. This fatwa leans towards the view that the patient is best advised not to fast, since the fluid has an effect similar to drinking water that relieves thirst. A patient in this condition need not fast so that the body can recover more stably, and the missed fast is made up after recovery.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam masalah ini ulama telah khilaf dan saya lebih cenderung kepada pendapat yang menyatakan sebaik-baiknya dia tidak berpuasalah, dia batalkan puasa kerana air yang dimasukkan itu juga kesannya sama seperti dia minum air yang boleh menghilangkan dahaga.
