Summary
Contemporary scholars differ on injections that serve as a substitute for energy-giving food. One view holds that the fast is invalidated because such an injection is regarded as eating and drinking. This view is preferred by Sheikh Muhammad al-Syaibani in Tabyin al-Masalik, and the respondent agrees with it because the purpose of fasting would be negated by such an injection.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berkenaan suntikan sebagai ganti makanan yang memberi tenaga, hukumnya tidak disepakati oleh ulama masa kini. Ada yang berpendapat batal puasanya kerana dianggap sebagai makan dan minum.
