Taking medical shots while fasting.

[majormuss]

:salam2:
I am due to take a medical syringe shot before my school will allow me to take classes on Monday. If I dont take the shot because I am fasting then I will miss class and this will be very detrimental to my education. On the other hand if I take the shot i will have to forfeit my fasting on one day, and then have to do it later.. which is better to do?

Brother,

I think your fast will be valid brother if you are not taking the shot for nourishment. Please refer the fatwa below which answers your question.

Can you not take that shot after fasting time, at night? Incase you are sure, it does not nourish you, nor does it sedate you, then yes. Many are known to avoid even if it is medicine. Incase taking medicine is really important, then you could forfeit and do it later. You have the discretion in this matter - go ahead take medical syringe shot or forfeit, but compensate [best is to fast after ramlaan rather than feed]
