RAMADAN month The greatest and longest of the months, Egyptians are keen to go to the Fatwa House, whether to ask questions or search for an answer to what is on their minds regarding fasting issues, including: : Use eye drops and contact lens solution while fasting
The answer was as follows:
Instilling medicine or solution into the eye does not invalidate the fast, even if the fasting person finds the taste of drops in his throat. Because the eye is not an outlet open to the person chosen in the fatwa.
It is worth noting that fasting is an act of worship for the sake of worship and the greatest reward for it, as God Almighty singled out the reward for the fasting person, so the Prophet – may God bless him and grant him peace – said: “God Almighty says: Fasting is for Me and I will reward for it. He gives up his desire and his eating and drinking from For me».
Islam has prescribed its own law for this obligation, including conditions, pillars, sunnahs, and mandates. If they are respected, this worship will be valid and complete. Every act of worship has prohibitions and dislikes that must be known. To avoid it, if something forbidden occurs in it, it becomes invalid, and if something bad happens in it, it deviates from perfection. Likewise, in every act of worship, there are matters that are permissible to abandon and do, regardless of whether they do not cause harm or influence.
Therefore, the accountable person had to distinguish between these matters that were subject to this worship – the worship of fasting – so that he could achieve them in the way that God Almighty would be pleased with, so that he would obtain reward in this world and a great reward in the Hereafter..
