AL-KAFI #1418 : ADAKAH KEMASUKAN SUPOSITORI KE DALAM DUBUR MEMBATALKAN WUDUK ?
Does inserting a suppository into the anus invalidate wudu?
Short answer
Inserting a suppository into the anus of a person in a state of wudu does not invalidate it, since the general rule is that wudu becomes obligatory because of something exiting the body, not something entering.

Summary
Inserting a suppository into the anus of a person in a state of wudu does not invalidate it, since the general rule is that wudu becomes obligatory because of something exiting the body, not something entering. Wudu can still be invalidated in two cases. First, if the person inserts it personally and the inside of the hand touches the anal opening, unless a glove is worn. Second, if the suppository comes back out through the anus, and istinja is obligatory if it exits wet.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan, kami menyatakan bahawa masuknya supositori ke dalam dubur seseorang yang dalam keadaan berwuduk tidaklah membatalkan wuduk.
