Question 30
If someone wants to undergo an operation on a day when fasting is obligatory, such as in the month of Ramadan, may he break the fast before the surgery if the doctor asks him to do so in preparation for the operation—for example, to take medicine or something similar, or anything else that results in breaking the fast? If the operation is not necessary, or it can be postponed until after Ramadan or after the day on which fasting is obligatory, such as some cosmetic or dental procedures, may he undergo it during Ramadan if it will cause him to break the fast for one or more days, or require him to break the fast before the procedure?
Ahmed al-Hasan Response:
He may undergo any permissible surgical operation during Ramadan or on a day when fasting is obligatory if it is necessary or cannot be postponed. He may also break the fast before the operation if the doctor asks him to do so, such as by taking a particular treatment before the procedure. After the operation, if the doctor asks him to break the fast in order to take medicine, speed recovery, or for something similar, he may break the fast. In all such cases, nothing is required of him other than making up the days he did not fast. He may likewise undergo any procedure on the body or in the mouth during Ramadan or on another obligatory fast day if he is not certain that it will lead to breaking the fast. If the preparations or procedure begin and the doctor then asks him to break the fast or take a certain medicine, there is no problem if he breaks it. Likewise, if the procedure itself causes him to break the fast, there is no problem, and in all of these cases he is required only to make it up. But if the procedure—whether in the mouth or elsewhere in the body—is not necessary, and he knows with certainty that it will cause him to break the fast or that the doctor will ask him to break it during preparation for the procedure, then he must avoid it during Ramadan or on days when fasting is obligatory for him.
