The principle: Only intentional internal intake breaks it. Practical for Muslims with long German workdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Eye and Ear Drops<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye or ear drops are fine in Ramadan\u2014they don&#8217;t reach the stomach. Even minimal throat taste keeps the fast valid, per Hanbali fiqh. No issue for daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Non-Nutritive Injections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Injections like insulin don&#8217;t break the Ramadan fast, as they enter the blood directly, bypassing the stomach. European diabetics can fast safely with blood sugar monitoring. Vaccinations are similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.Creams, Ointments, and Patches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin creams, ointments, or hormone patches have no impact on fasting during Ramadan. Skin absorption isn&#8217;t intake\u2014perfect for chronic skin conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.Dental Treatment and Mouthwash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mouthwash and dental work are allowed if nothing is swallowed. Be careful with water while brushing\u2014spit thoroughly. The Prophet \ufdfa recommended siwak during the day, supporting this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Special_Case_Who_Is_Exempt_from_Fasting\"><\/span><strong>Special Case: Who Is Exempt from Fasting?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those needing fast-breaking medications to avoid health risks can pause fasting.
