With Ramadan just a few days away, we have established by now that getting a COVID-19 shot does not break one's fast, but what about getting cotton swabs shoved up your nose and down your throat?

That's all halal and does not invalidate the fast, according to the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the highest clerical body in the nation.

"The consideration was that there are no elements [in swab tests] that break the fast. They don't shove the cotton swab into the nose and the mouth far enough to cause people to vomit. At most, it causes people to gag,"
