Taking an anaesthetic injection whilst fasting

 

Question: Does an anaesthetic injection into the body break the fast? (And likewise) the blood flow after having a tooth extracted?

 

Response: Neither of these two breaks the fast, however, one must not swallow the blood which flows from (having) the tooth (removed).
