00:00Question, can a lady, a woman, female, visit a gynecologist to be examined during this month?
00:11Ramadan.
00:12For a lady to visit a gynecologist while she's fasting, it's not prohibited.
00:18But she should take care that the gynecologist she visits should be a lady.
00:24Because we have to maintain the hijab.
00:25It is not advisable or it's rather haram that she goes to a gen gynecologist.
00:33Unless there is no one in that area and she has such a disease which may take a life or it's a serious case.
00:39Then if she doesn't find a lady gynecologist and she goes to a gen gynecologist, it can be excused as a last resort.
00:46But normally she should visit a lady gynecologist.
00:49Now when she visits a gynecologist, if an examination is done, it may be a PV as we say in our lingo, medical lingo.
00:56That per vaginal examination, whether a finger is inserted in the vagina, that will not break the fast.
01:00If any instrument is put in the vagina also, it will not break any fast.
01:03For any testing, any examination or if any vaginal pessary is also put in the vagina, that will not break the fast.
01:10While she goes to a gynecologist, if there are any other tests done or if any instrument is put in the uterus, any intrauterine device or any cathode is put, all these things will not break the fast.
01:28Furthermore, if while the gynecologist examines her and if any testing has to be done, any tube or cathode has to be put in the urethra, that is urinal passage, all these things will not break the fast because it does not constitute that food or nourishment is being reached.
01:45And food and nourishment cannot be given through the vagina, through the urethra, through the uterus.
01:49So the scholar, the unanimous agree that she can visit a gynecologist, she can get a self-examine, this will not break the fast at all.
