Does using a suppository while fasting break the fast?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Using a suppositoriy or an enema during the day in does not break the fast, because there is no evidence that either of them is among the things that invalidate the fast, and they are neither eating nor drinking nor do they carry the same meaning. Ibn Taymiyyah said: Kohl and an enema do not invalidate the fast, and Ibn 'Uthaymeen preferred this opinion.
