Using eye drops while fasting

Q: I have an eye inflammation which requires me to use eye drops five times a day. Will it be permissible to use it while fasting?

A: Yes, it is permissible. Inserting eye drops into the eye does not cause the fast to break.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
