Summary
According to the Shafi'i school, the fast is invalidated when stool that has emerged but not yet separated is drawn back by contracting the anus and enters the inner part of the anus. The limit is that it passes beyond the area that is not obligatory to wash during istinja'. Inserting a finger to wash the folds of the anus does not break the fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Batal puasa sekiranya najis yang keluar kemudian masuk semula selepas dikemut sehingga sampai ke kawasan dalam dubur.
