Smoking and Injecting Whilst Fasting |
(a) Does smoking invalidate
the fast?
(b) Does Injection nullify the fast?
(A) Any form of inhaling smoke
intentionally invalidates the fast. This applies
to all intentional consumption and inhalation of
anything whatsoever. (Al-Majmu` 6/326) However,
smoke patches do not nullify the fast, as it
does not involve any inhalation.
(B) Injecting in the body
directly into the bloodstream does not nullify
the fast, as the jurists have conditioned
passage through the brain or the stomach for
nullification of the fast.
