Summary
This explanatory article holds that using a menstrual cup or menstrual disc is permissible for a woman with istihadhah. Both devices collect blood just as a sanitary pad does, so the same ruling applies and the user is regarded as carrying impurity. The device must be cleaned before prayer even if no blood is visible outside the vagina, and the user should remain careful about her state of purity before worship.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
