Subject : Islamic Ruling on Using a Respiratory Device (Oxygen) during the Day in Ramadan
Fatwa Number : 4122
Date : 28-01-2026
Classified : Things which Invalidate Fasting
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

Does using a respiratory device (oxygen) affect the validity of fasting?



The Answer :

Using an oxygen device does not affect the validity of fasting because oxygen is a gas with no physical substance.

However, if medicinal substances with physical particles are added to the oxygen, its use would break the fast, as it enters the body cavity through a natural passage.
