Summary
Inserting a tampon into the vagina while fasting breaks the fast, because it places an object into the body cavity through an open passage. According to the Shafi'i school, the fast is invalid if something enters the inner part of the vagina between true dawn and sunset. If the tampon is inserted before dawn and removed afterwards, the fast remains valid because the insertion took place before imsak.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, hukum memasang tampon di faraj ketika berpuasa adalah membatalkan puasa jika dimasukkan ke dalam rongga badan melalui saluran yang terbuka (faraj).
