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
