What is the ruling on using suppositories for a person who is sick during the daytime in Ramadan?
It is permissible for a sick person to use rectal suppositories, because they are neither food nor drink, nor do they take their place. The Lawgiver prohibited eating and drinking and whatever takes their place, and suppositories are not like that, so they do not take the ruling of food and drinking.
