Does an anesthetic injection break the fast?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A local anesthetic injection does not invalidate the fast of a fasting person, because it is neither food nor drink, nor does it carry their meaning. The fast of one who receives it is valid, unless it leads to a loss of consciousness throughout the day. If it leads to a loss of consciousness from dawn until sunset, the fast is not valid and must be made up.
