Using a tampon

· 29 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I suffer with continuous slightly coloured discharge but it is not a large amount. I make fresh wudhu for every salaah as my discharge is ongoing. I sometimes due to circumstances am unable to make fresh wudhu and require to keep wudhu (i.e. due to travel or due to work etc). Please let me know if one can use a Tampon to keep wudhu across 2 salaah times, if the tampon remains dry on the bottom end and no discharge exists the outer area onto to under garments?

Answer

It is makrooh for a woman to insert anything in her private area. Hence, you should refrain from using a tampon.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

أن اتخاذ الكرسف للبكر سنة عند الحيض، والثيب يستحب لها اتخاذ الكرسف بكل حال، وأما البكر فيستحب لها وضع الكرسف في حال الحيض، ولايستحب لها في غير حالة الحيض، والطهارة إذا صلت بغير كرسف وأمنت أن يخرج منها شيء جازت صلاتها، والأحسن أن تضع الكرسف، وعن محمد بن سلمة البلخي رحمه الله أنه يكره للمرأة أن تضع الكرسف في الفرج الداخل (الفتاوى التاتارخانية 1/478)
