Fatwa #21783 February 2001United Kingdom

Can a Muslim woman use tampons?

Question

I am aware that a woman and her sexual parts must remain pure for her husband only. I have heard that wearing a tampon during menstruation is a form of unlawful penetration, is this true? I thank you in advance.

Answer

It is permissible for females to use tampons during her menses. It will not
be regarded as unlawful penetration.
