If a woman has to undergo a full-body medical examination by a doctor during the fasting period in Ramadan, does this invalidate the fast?

The Fatwa section of the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai says that during the fasting period a women must not be subjected to a medical examination, particularly one where the doctor has to examine her body.

If the doctor does indeed examine the women and there is physical contact, the fast is invalid and one will have to make-up the fast.

Can a husband engage in physical intimacy with his wife after Suhoor but before the Fajr prayer?

The Fatwa Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities in Dubai says, “If a Muslim hears the Fajr and is determined to fast, he has to stop all that invalidates the fast – eating, drinking or having sexual intercourse.

“Once the Fajr prayer call is made, if a Muslim indulges in anything that invalidates the fast, he will have to fast again to make it up.”

“This will mean fasting on an alternative day before the next Holy Month of Ramadan and the feeding of one poor person.”

“It is better for a Muslim to ensure he has stopped all that can invalidate his fast at least 10 minutes before the Fajr.”
