Chapter on the Etiquettes of the Fasting Person, What Invalidates the Fast, and What Does Not Invalidate it
وَ سَأَلَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَحْتَقِنُ تَكُونُ بِهِ اَلْعِلَّةُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «اَلصَّائِمُ لاَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَحْتَقِنَ ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr al-Bazanti asked Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام about a man who uses an enema due to illness during the Month of Ramadan. Imam عليه السلام said: "A fasting person is not permitted to use an enema."
