Summary
The Federal Territories Mufti Department adopts the view that injections during the day in Ramadan, whether into muscle or the bloodstream, do not break the fast. An IV drip for dehydration, or any injection that does not pass through an open passage, also does not break the fast, whether or not it provides energy. However, it should not be used as a pretext to relieve hunger during the day in Ramadan. The ruling also notes other views: that it breaks the fast absolutely, and that it breaks the fast if the injection contains nutrition.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan penelitian hujah yang dikemukakan, pihak Jabatan Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan cenderung kepada pandangan kedua iaitu hukum suntikan di siang Ramadan sama ada melalui otot mahupun saluran darah tidak membatalkan puasa.
