Summary
Inserting an IUD into a woman's uterus while fasting does not invalidate the fast. This is the stronger view according to Dr. Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Khalil. He explains that the Hanafi and Shafi'i scholars ruled that the fast is broken on the ground that fluid reaches the inner cavity, but modern medicine shows no passage links the female reproductive system to that cavity. The religious texts mention only sexual intercourse as a fast-breaker related to the vagina.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
