Is Nasal drops invalidate fasting? Does nasal drop invalidate the fast? Does using a nasal drop break the fast? Is the fast broken by using a nasal drop?
One drop of nasal drop used for treatment is approximately 0,06 cm³. Some of it is absorbed by nose walls and very little amount reaches stomach. This is not considered as an amount enough to invalidate fasting as the moistness on mouth after rinsing. Besides, it is not an act of eating and drinking, or taking nutrition. Therefore, nose drop does not invalidate fasting (Decision by HBRA dated 22.09.2005).
