Question
What is the ruling on performing endoscopy during the day in Ramadan for the fasting person?
Answer
Performing endoscopy during the day of Ramadan for the fasting person - whether through the mouth, nose, vagina, or anus - if the endoscope is wet with a certain substance that helps insert it into the required place, it invalidates the fast. However, if it is dry, it does not harm. But if one wants to reinsert it, they must dry it, as mentioned in the medical comments, p. 161.
