Q: Imaam, does a gynecological check up invalidate a fast? There is a liquid substance they place inside a woman. Can i have blood drawn? Thanks for all you do for our community. This site has helped my family a lot. (text)

Answers:

• If anything is inserted into the vagina, then you would have to do a makeup for the fast.
• Blood can be drawn so long as it does not cause you to faint or become excessively weak.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
