Do I need ghusl after a prostate exam?

Do I have to perform ghusl after the prostate exam? The doctor inserts the forefinger in the anal canal to check the size of the prostate gland.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 164/144/L=2/1438)

No, no ghusl shall be wajib merely by inserting the finger in the anal passage:
