Question
A few days ago when I was fasting I took a shower and I felt a drop of water enter my ear. I used a towel to dry it, but I felt uncomfortable whole the day. Was my fast broken? Suppose a drop of blood came from my nose when I was fasting?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Certainly the ear is not connected (related) to the stomach. Here the Islamic scholars permitted the use of eardrops for the one who is fasting. Another thing if a drop of water entered your ear without your will your fast will not be spoiled. By this you can realize that your fast is correct. Praise be to Allah. Regarding nosebleed, and exit of one drop of blood from the nose, these do not spoil the fast except when the person fasting willfully swallows some of that blood.
Allah knows best.
