FIQH 3.134: FASTING, APPLYING KOHL OR EYE DROPS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO THE EYES
These acts are all permissible, even if some taste from it finds its way to the throat, as the eyes are not a passageway to the stomach. Anas reported that he would apply kohl while he was fasting. This is the opinion of the Shaf’iyyah. Ibn al-Munzhir records the same opinion from ‘Ata, al-Hassan, an-Nakha’i, al-Au~a’i, Abu Hanifah, Abu Thaur, and Dawud. It is related from the following companions: Ibn ‘Umar, Anas, and Ibn Abu ‘Aufa. According to al Tirmidhi, nothing authentic has been related from the Prophet concerning this question.
Fiqh 3.134 a: Fasting, kissing for one who has the ability to control himself
It is confirmed that ‘Aishah said: “The Prophet would kiss and embrace while he was fasting, for he had the most control of all of you over his desires.” ‘Umar said: “I was excited one time and I kissed [my wife] while I was fasting. I went to the Prophet and said: ‘Today I committed a horrendous act–I kissed while I was fasting.’ The Prophet asked: ‘What do you think of rinsing with water while fasting?’ I said: ‘There is nothing wrong with that.’ The Prophet said: ‘Then what is the question about?'”
Ibn al-Munzhir says: ” ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbas, Abu Hurairah, ‘Aishah, ‘Ata, ash-Sha’bi, al-Hassan, Ahmad, and Ishaq permit kissing. The Hanafiyyah and Shaf’iyyah say that it is disliked if it incites one’s desires.
If it does not do so, it is not disliked although it is better to avoid it.“ There is no difference between an old man or a young man in this matter. The question is whether or not the kiss excites one’s desires. If it does, it is disliked. If it does not, it is not disliked although it is best to avoid it. It does not matter if the kiss was on the cheek or on the lips, and so on. Touching with the hand or embracing follow the same ruling as kissing.
Fiqh 3.134 b: Fasting, any type of injection
Injections do not break the fast whether they are for feeding the person or just medicine. It does not matter if the injection was intravenous or underneath the skin. It also does not matter if what was injected reaches the stomach, as it does not reach the stomach through the customary manner (that food does).
