Takeaways

• 😀 The first way to invalidate fasting is intentionally consuming anything that enters the body, whether through eating, drinking, or other means.
• 😀 Using eye drops or tears does not break the fast, as it is not related to the digestive system.
• 😀 Injections or any substance entering the body through front or back pathways, if they contain food or drink, invalidate the fast.
• 😀 Non-nutritive injections, such as those used for medical purposes that do not contain food or drink, do not invalidate fasting.
• 😀 Deliberate sexual intercourse during fasting breaks the fast, as it goes against the purpose of fasting which is to abstain from desires.
• 😀 Semen release from kissing or other intimate actions during fasting invalidates the fast, unlike a wet dream, which does not.
