Fasting

I work in a hospital. And I have the issue of repeated episodes of headache, sometimes very severe which impairs my work. My question is, during fasting, can I use transdermal patches of painkiller medicine which are placed on skin and the drug gets absorbed directly through the skin into blood?

Fasting, Supplications

ANSWER: This is not authentic. The Prophet (ﷺ) said when he broke his fast: ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ Zahabaz zama’u wabtallati urooq wa thabatal ajru in sha Allah Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the reward is sure, if Allah wills. [Sunan Abi Dawud 2357]

ANSWER: Your ghusul has nothing to do with your fasting! The prophet salla allahu alaihi wa sallam used to go to bed in the state of major ritual impurity and perform ghusul only after fajr athan while he was fasting.

Shiekh if I wake up past fajr can I still fast or is it I have to eat something before fajr and pray then fast counts or will it count even if I don’t wake up
