Does the presence of a smell or residue from the gel used during sexual intercourse after ghusl, or the discharge of drops of blood after intercourse due to difficult penetration, invalidate the fast of one who is fasting?

There is no harm in using the aforementioned softener, and the persistence of its scent is not a matter of concern in Islamic law. Scholars have permitted the use of perfume for a fasting person. As for the discharge of drops, if they are not menstrual blood, they do not affect the validity of the fast. Only menstrual and post-natal bleeding breaks the fast. We also remind you of the obligation to obey your husband regarding intimacy, as long as it does not result in harm.
