IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS RAMADAN SIRI KE-202: STATUS PUASA ORANG YANG KENTUT KETIKA MANDI DI SIANG HARI PADA BULAN RAMADAN
Does a person's fast break if they pass wind while showering during the day in Ramadan and feel water enter the anus?
Short answer
Passing wind while bathing in the daytime during Ramadan, using a shower or a dipper, does not break the fast even if the person feels water enter the anal cavity.

Summary
Passing wind while bathing in the daytime during Ramadan, using a shower or a dipper, does not break the fast even if the person feels water enter the anal cavity. This is because bathing is not classed as deliberately exposing the body cavity to water in the way that immersion is. Immersion in water does break the fast when water habitually enters an open cavity and the person cannot avoid it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan kentut ketika mandi di siang hari pada bulan Ramadan dengan menggunakan shower atau gayung tidak membatalkan puasa walaupun ketika kentut itu dia terasa air masuk ke dalam rongga duburnya.
