UAE- Ramadan fatwas: Will using nicotine patch break the fast?


(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Question: A man wants to quit smoking and is advised with a medical plaster that is put on the skin and provides the body with nicotine. Does this plaster break the fast?

Answer: There is nothing wrong in using this plaster because it is not nourishing; the nicotine does not go to the belly through an open access; it is absorbed by the body through the skin and the blood just like when the body absorbs water while bathing. Therefore, it does not break the fast.

During the holy month of Ramadan, we bring you unique stories that set the mood for the season.
