Eyedrops while fasting
Question
Q. I have recently undergone an eye operation that needs me to put eye drops into my eyes every 2 hrs for couple months.
I am concerned as ramadhaan is approaching and I am worried about fasting as sometimes I can feel d medicine going down my throat.
What is d fatwa regarding fast and eye drops?
Answer
Eye drops do not invalidate the fast. You may continue using eye drops whilst fasting.
And Allah Knows Best
