Questions and Answers

I have an appointment with my gynecologist for a pap-smear procedure during Ramadan, will it break my fast?

This will break the fast because generally this type of procedure is carried out using lubricants and creams which will enter the private area. If lubricants and creams are not used then it will not break the fast. (Fatawa Rahimiyyah 4/72)
