Question :

What is the ruling on X-ray imaging while fasting in Ramadan?



The Answer :

X-ray imaging itself does not break the fast. However, if a person ingests a contrast agent or medication to enhance the imaging process through an open passage to the body cavity (jauf)—such as the mouth or rectum—then their fast is invalidated.
