Question:
Does dental numbing (injections) break one fast?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
It is permissible for a fasting person to take medicine by injection. [1]
Dental numbing injections fall under the same rule as other injections because nothing of it reaches the throat.
