[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Can an IUD break one's fast?
Can IUD be placed while fasting? Or can it break the fast.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.
There are various different types of Intra-Uterine Devices (IUD) such as Hormonal IUD, Copper IUD, Diaphragms, etc.[1] Kindly clarify which specific IUD you are referring to in order for us to issue a ruling.
