Q.| Is it permissible to receive intravenous injections of volume expanders and ampoules that have nourishing and replenishing properties when we are fasting?

A.| As a matter of mandatory caution (iḥtīāṭ wājib), receiving intravenous injections^[1] of volume expanders and ampoules that have nourishing and replenishing properties must be avoided during fasting.

[1] An intravenous injection is an injection in the vein, as opposed to injections that are made under the skin or in a muscle tissue.
