Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can we use a nicotine patch during fasting?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the NHS UK, a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) can be a Nicotine patch.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA sticker that distributes nicotine (in gel form) that is absorbed by the skin and then goes via the capillaries into the bloodstream, as a result,<\/strong>\u00a0it prevents withdrawal symptoms in the one who is nicotine dependent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using patches allows the nicotine to directly go through the skin directly into the bloodstream. No biting or inhalation through the mouth is used.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah SWT mentions in the Qur\u2019an:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0644\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0634\u06e1\u0631\u064e\u0628\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u0627 \u062d\u064e\u062a\u0651\u0670\u0649 \u064a\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e\u0646\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0640\u0643\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u062e\u064e\u0640\u064a\u06e1\u0637\u064f \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0627\u064e\u0628\u06e1\u064a\u064e\u0636\u064f \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u062e\u064e\u0640\u064a\u06e1\u0637\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0627\u064e\u0633\u06e1\u0648\u064e\u062f\u0650 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0641\u064e\u062c\u06e1\u0631\u0650<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And eat and drink\u00a0at night until you can discern the white streak of dawn against the blackness of the night. [Surah Baqarah verse 187]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This procedure is similar to a person taking an injection in the state of fasting. The ruling regarding this is that the fast remains intact. (Ahsanul Fatawa p.432 v.4)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, in the aforementioned scenario, by using Nicorette patches, one fast will not break.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
