The Fast Being Nullified By Inserting A Wet Finger In The Rear Private Part

· 3 Ramadan 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have recently become aware that during fasting if a wet finger is inserted into the back private part while making istinja, then the fast is nullified. Please advise me if and how I should make qadha of such fasts bearing in mind that I am uncertain as to how many times this might have happened in the past.

Answer

You will have to exercise and apply your mind to estimate the number of times this may have occurred and keep Qadhaa accordingly since you are unaware of the actual number of times.
