The Anesthesia Needle for the Fasting Person
A woman who underwent a procedure on her finger, where the finger was anesthetized, entered the operating room while she was fasting. She asks whether she is considered to have broken her fast or if she should continue fasting.
Answer
I say, and with God's success: She completes her fast as long as nothing enters her throat; because injections do not break the fast; they are not from a valid entry point, and God knows best.
