The Details of the Question
Does using eye drops invalidate fasting?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
The view of the High Religious Affairs Committee regarding the issue is as follows:
"According to the information received from specialists and ophthalmologists, the eye drop dropped in the eye is very small (50 microliter, which is 1/20 of 1 mililiter); some of it is sent out when the eye is winked; some of it is absorbed into the body through the eye, through the channels that combine the eye and the nasal cavity and through the pores of the nose mucosa; scarcely any amount can reach the alimentary canal; therefore, it is concluded that eye drops do not invalidate fasting as Islamic scholars say."
