Question
My wife needs to take weight loss injections primarily for medical reasons. It is mandatory to inject daily [it is recommended to inject at a fixed time], and the injection is in the abdomen. What is the ruling regarding injections on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Since there is a need to inject every day, and it certainly does not involve drawing blood, it is permitted to inject on Shabbat.
