Does water entering the anus while fasting, without being certain that all of it has exited, invalidate the fast?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The invalidation of fasting by introducing water into the anus is a matter of disagreement among jurists, but the majority of scholars believe that fasting is invalidated by it.
