Sawm and Taharah of a woman who inserts her finger or another object in her vagina

Q 5 : If a woman inserts her finger into her vagina while making Istinja' (cleansing the private parts with water after urination or defecation), applying ointment, or inserting a suppository; or if a female doctor inserts a diagnostic instrument or her finger during a medical examination, should a woman perform Ghusl (full ritual bath)? If this occurs during the daytime of Ramadan, should she break her Sawm (Fast) and make up for it later?


A: In any of the above-mentioned cases, a woman does not have to perform Janabah Ghusl (full ritual bath to cleanse of sexual discharge) nor does it invalidate her Sawm. (Part No. 10; Page No. 174) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
