can a person use eye drops whilst fasting

Answer:

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to use eye-drops whilst fasting, the fast will not be nullified.[1] However if ear drops and nose drops is used it will nullify the fast. In this instance only Qadha will have to be made and not Kaffarah.[2]
