Question :

What is the ruling on taking a medication tablet sublingually during the daytime in Ramadan?


The Answer :

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.


 


Taking a medication tablet sublingually (under the tongue) during the daytime in Ramadan does not invalidate the fast, since it does not reach the internal cavity (al-jawf) through an open passage.


 


However, if the tablet dissolves and any part of it is swallowed, then the fast is broken.


 


And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.
