Does using a suppository necessitate wudu and ghusl? Is it necessary for a woman who is treated by a gynecologist from the vagina or anus to make ghusl?

Dear Brother / Sister,

Wudu is not broken when medication is used from the mouth, nose, ear, or anus or vagina; ghusl does not become necessary, either. This decree does not change based on the nature of the medication. That is, pills or syrup taken from the mouth, ointment or drops put into the nose or ear, suppositories and similar things that are put into the anus or vagina do not necessitate wudu or ghusl. 

We should also state that the injection into the vein or buttocks do not harm wudu and ghusl, either. If blood comes out of the place where the injection is given, wudu is broken. 

Is it necessary for a woman who is treated by a male doctor to make ghusl?

To put a finger or something else into the vagina or anus does not necessitate ghusl. It does not matter whether it is a man’s or woman’s finger. However, if a finger is put into the vagina with the purpose of having a sexual pleasure, ghusl becomes necessary. 

If a plastic tool is put into the vagina of a woman and if she gets sexual pleasure from it, she needs to make ghusl; if she does not get sexual pleasure, she does not have to make ghusl.

Accordingly, when a woman is treated by a gynecologist, if she feels sexual pleasure, she has to make ghusl; if she does not feel sexual pleasure, she does not have to make ghusl. The decree does not change whether the doctor is female or male. (Raddul-Muhtar, I/112)
