Don't use eye drop while fasting, the liquid drop goes through the throat, and if you are familiar with eye drop you will agree with me that the drop reaches the throat. It is better to avoid something which you are doubting. If liquid reaches the throat then you have terminated ur fast. That is why a chef can taste a meal with his tongue but if it passes the throat you have terminate ur fasting. ALLAH knows best

If the bitter taste of eye drops enters the throat, does it break the fast? If you put the eye drops in during the day and then go to sleep, and do not know whether you swallowed it, what is the ruling?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The scholars differed concerning eye drops and whether or not they break the fast.

The view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah and by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, is that they do not break the fast.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah was of the view that kohl does not break the fast, not even if the taste of the kohl reaches the throat. He said, this is not called food or drink, and it is not like food or drink, and it does not have the same effect as food or drink. There is no saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which expressly indicates that kohl breaks the fast, and the basic principle is that it does not break the fast. An act of worship remains valid unless it is proven that it is invalidated. What he said is correct, even if a person can taste it in his throat. Based on the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam, if a person puts drops in his eyes whilst fasting and tastes it in his throat, that does not break his fast.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 6/382.
