The new things that invalidate the fast (4)

The fourth item that invalidates the fast is: The Eye Drop:
that is used through the nose; does it invalidate the fast or not? The later scholars have two views in this regard:
The first view is: it breaks the fast according to Ibn Baz and Ibn `Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on their souls).

They quoted the Hadith of Luqayt ibn Sabrah as evidence: "Over exaggerate in sniffing the nose except if you are fasting." This is an evidence that the nose is the entrance of the stomach. If this is the case, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited the use of eye drop.

The forbiddance of the Prophet (peace be upon him) of excessive sniffing includes also the prohibition of inserting anything inside the nose even if this thing is so little because what goes inside the nose due to the over exaggeration of sniffing is so little.

The Second opinion is: it does not break the fast.

They quoted the following as evidence: By analogy to the remnant water after rinsing the mouth, the remnant of the drops is so little, therefore it takes the same ruling.

One drop equals 0.06 per cubic centimeter.
These drops enter the nose and only so little amount reaches the stomach and that small amount is overlooked.

Moreover, the general rule is the validity of the fast unless there is a hard evidence to annul it. Certainty cannot be removed with uncertainty.
Both views are strong.

The fifth item is: The Nasal Spray:
The same as the mouth spray, so the Nasal spray does not break the fast.
