Summary
Directing water toward the anus when cleaning oneself does not break the fast. Ordinarily the water does not go beyond the part of the anus that must be washed during istinjak. The ruling relies on al-Bujairimi, who states that the limit for entry that breaks the fast is going beyond that obligatory washing area, and inserting a finger to wash the folds of the anus also does not break the fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan menghalakan air ke arah lubang dubur ketika bersuci adalah tidak membatalkan puasa kerana kebiasaannya perbuatan tersebut tidak menyebabkan air masuk melebihi bahagian had wajib basuhan bagi dubur.
