If a person is fasting and gets a blood transfusion, it will also invalidate their fast. The reason is that blood is created from edibles. On the other hand, getting nutrition treatments through drips or needles also impacts our fast as it is similar to properly eating or drinking.

4. Eating and Drinking

This supports that we must avoid everything that goes into our stomach through the mouth. Even it must be avoided through the nose. Yet, if it happens unknowingly, we can repent.

5. Vomiting

According to a hadith Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 720, classed as Saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 577, if you vomit deliberately, it will break your fast.

6. Lying, cursing, blaming, misbehaving, and listening to the music

These are the acts that don’t break one’s fast yet. These are considered the worse acts and are also unliked by Allah (SWT). An Islamic Scholar, Ahmad Mufti, once said, “They do not break the fast, but engaging in such behaviors deprives the person of rewards and God’s forgiveness. Fasting is not only about refraining from eating and drinking.”

7. Guidance on eye drops, ear drops and nose drops

According to Khaleeq Ahmed Mufti, “Water or ear drops entering the ears are most likely to break the fast because they are open ports that can reach the abdomen. Nose sprays can also break the fast if they reach the abdomen, so people should take precautions. As for eye drops, scholars differ on this, so I recommend people avoid it unless they urgently need to take it during fasting hours.”

8. Hand Practicing

Intentionally done ejaculation breaks the fast, i.e., ejaculation followed by foreplay. These acts are considered as intentionally made arousal that goes against our fasts. If someone gets indulges in such acts while fasting, they must seek repentance from Allah and fast for a day after the month of Ramadan. On the other hand, expiation is required if a person follows activities with his wife.
