Question:
Asalaamu alaikum
1. Does a Pap smear and internal break my fast?
2. Does it break my ghusal and wudhu?
Answer:
Wa ‘alaikumus salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barkaatuh
Respected Sister
1. If any medication (liquid or otherwise) or anything moist (non-medication) is entered into the inner private part then the fast will break. If something dry (like a finger or examining instrument) is inserted (without any lubricant or medication) then it will not break the fast provided the dry object is not completely removed and reinserted again. It would therefore be advisable to delay this test until after Ramadhaan. One will have to make qadhaa of the fast that was broken in this way. However, there is no need to make kaffaarah (fast 60 consecutive days) for this.
2. This does not generally break the ghusal. It will however break the wudhu since some impurity is generally taken out / emitted from the private part.
And Allah Ta‘ala knows best
