Common misconceptions about fasting
14 September 2009 / ,
Leading scholars of Islam say the following acts are permissible for those fasting and do not nullify one's fast:
pouring water over the body and submerging the body in water; applying eye drops or anything else to the eyes; rinsing, gargling or applying topical treatment to the mouth so long as one avoids swallowing any material that may reach the throat; injections, whether subcutaneous, intra-muscular or intravenous -- with the exception of those used for the purposes of nutrition; anesthetics, so long as they do not supply nutrition to the patient; the drilling of teeth (prior to a filling); the extraction or polishing of teeth; and using a miswak (a teeth-cleaning twig) or a toothbrush, so long as one does not swallow any material that reaches the throat.
