Question
السلام علیکم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Hope the ulama are in good health
Can a women use a kursuf and fast
A wet item cannot be inserted while fasting and a dry item can but if it is removed and re inserted that breaks the fast…so for a kursuf a women inserts it sometimes each namaaz time etc thus placing it around 4 times…
Is that rendering the fast invalid
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The vaginal orifice does not have a link to the stomach, as such, insertion of anything within will not nullify the fast.[1]
Accordingly, it is valid to fast whilst using a kursuf.
