Question

Reference number: 899884 | Fasting | May 23, 2019

Does taking B12 shots (in the muscle) break the fast?

Answer

Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.

Medical needle injection does not break the fast. The Palestinian Legal Verdict Council decided that any needle shot, regardless of the place of injection (in muscles, in veins, or even under skin) does not break the fast as long as there is no nutrition inserted.
