FASTING IN THE MODERN AGE

Does an injection break the fast? What about an inhaler, a vaccine, or a tooth extraction? Can a fasting person have an ultrasound, give blood, or use eye drops?

In Fasting in the Modern Age, Dr. Mufty Hafiz Luthfur Rahman Qasimy answers thirty of the most pressing contemporary questions about fasting — the masayel that modern medicine has placed before every fasting Muslim. Each ruling is grounded in the classical sources of Islamic jurisprudence, including the Hidayah, Fatawa Shami, Ahsan al-Fatawa, and other authoritative works.

This book covers:

- Injections, vaccines, insulin, and saline drips while fasting
- Inhalers, oxygen, nasal sprays, and eye and ear medicine
- Modern procedures: angiography, endoscopy, laparoscopy, ultrasound, and brain operations
- Dental care: tooth extraction, toothpaste, and the miswak
- Blood donation, blood tests, and diabetes testing

Clear, concise, and evidence-based — an essential guide for every Muslim who wants to fast in the modern age with confidence and peace of mind.
