Using Honey Eye Drops Whilst Fasting

Question:

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I know that using eye drops does not break ones fast, but will it break if I use a drop of honey instead?

Answer:

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

Respected Sister

Any substance which is utilised as a form of medication and it is inserted through the eyes would not render the fast null and void.[1]
