A woman putting her hand into her vagina for cleansing

A: The act of putting the hand into the vagina does not render Sawm invalid unless it results in sexual discharge out of sexual desire. When it results in sexual discharge, it renders Sawm invalid, and it is Wajib on a woman to make up for it only. If the following Ramadan comes and she has not yet made up for this days with no excuse, she has to both make up for this day and feed a needy person by giving half a Sa` (1 Sa` = 3 kg. Approx.) of the common food in her country for each missed day of Sawm. In addition, she has to offer Tawbah (repentance to Allah) for delay and determine not to return to that act in the future.However, putting the hand into the vagina without having sexual discharge does not render Sawm invalid and does not require making up for such days.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
