Plasma Injection in the Face for Fasting Individuals

Question

What is the ruling on plasma injected into the face after being removed from the body during fasting?

Answer 1

Peace be upon you. It is obligatory for the fasting person to avoid injections of nourishing or strengthening substances altogether, as well as intravenous injections and all types of serum. However, there is no objection to using non-nourishing injections administered intramuscularly, such as antibiotics, painkillers, and anesthetic injections.
