Aww, respected Ulama, first I would like to thank you for this site, it’s very helpful, may Allah swt reward you for your efforts.
My wife recently went for a cervical smear test, the process involves a nurse inserting a plastic instrument through the private part and taking a swab of the cervix, does this make ghusl compulsory?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Inserting a plastic instrument in the private part of a woman does not necessitate ghusl.
