Subject : Islamic Ruling on Taking Intramuscular Injections while Fasting
Fatwa Number : 4145
Date : 01-02-2026
Classified : Things which Invalidate Fasting
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

What is the ruling on intramuscular injections? Do they break the fast?



The Answer :

Therapeutic injections administered under the skin or into the muscles do not break the fast, as they do not enter the body cavity (jauf) through an open passage.

However, intravenous (IV) injections that provide nourishment do break the fast because they function like food and drink in effect.
