What is the ruling on a fasting person using patches to relieve feelings of hunger and thirst, and does the ruling differ between one who is able to fast without them and one who is unable to do so?

A patch for removing feelings of hunger and thirst is a medical patch that does not supply the body with energy, but rather works to reduce desire and appetite. This patch does not break the fast of the fasting person because it enters the body through the skin via the pores, which, according to the majority of jurists and members of the Fiqh Council, does not break the fast. Furthermore, its use does not contradict the wisdom of fasting, as evidenced by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions intentionally alleviating the severity of fasting by cooling themselves with water. The Fiqh Council has affirmed that this patch does not break the fast.
