Applying medication in the vagina

· 4 Ramadan 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a woman applies medication in the private part, will it invalidate one’s fast?

Answer

If the medication is applied onto the Farj-e-Khaarij (outer section of the vagina), then it does not affect the validity of the fast. If the medication is entered into the inner section of the vagina, then the fast will be invalidated.
