The Hernia Operation for the Fasting Person
I underwent a (hernia) operation: it involves opening the abdomen from the bottom near the pubic area, then placing gauze and stitching the wound. Does this gauze count as stability in the cavity? Or is this operation a breaker of the fast? If the doctor only used general anesthesia?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If this surgery reaches the intestines, and the doctor applies medication to it, then it would break the fast; due to its reaching the considered cavity, which is the intestines, and God knows best.
