IRSYAD HUKUM EDISI KHAS RAMADAN SIRI KE 251: ADAKAH BATAL PUASA MEMASUKKAN JARI PADA DUBUR DISEBABKAN BUASIR TERKELUAR?
Does a person with grade 3 hemorrhoids break the fast by inserting a finger into the anus to push back protruding hemorrhoids?
Short answer
A person with grade 3 hemorrhoids who must push the protruding mass back into the anus with a finger does not invalidate the fast, because the act is done out of necessity and is excused.

Summary
A person with grade 3 hemorrhoids who must push the protruding mass back into the anus with a finger does not invalidate the fast, because the act is done out of necessity and is excused. This differs from istinja, where washing the visible part of the anus is sufficient. Inserting a finger beyond the area that must be washed during istinja, into the inner part that need not be washed, invalidates the fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Status puasa bagi pesakit buasir tahap 3 yang melibatkan proses memasukkan jari ke dalam dubur adalah tidak membatalkan puasa. Hal ini kerana ia dilakukan dalam keadaan hajat yang mendesak.
