General Dought & clear, - * Ruling on doing Kegel exercises and inserting something into the vagina during those exercises

Share ::-

My Question is about Kegel exercises that are done to strengthen pelvic muscle and have many health benefits such as improving urine inconsistency, even reverses many other bladder and vaginal related issues for females. Please note that there are different ways of practising this technique, one of which requires the female to insert a small weighted silicone rubber in her vagina and contract there to strengthen the muscles and make them more active. It's really beneficial as after multiple pregnancies a woman's private part gets different types of issues such as not being tight enough due to which the urine leaks out, no pleasure for wife and husband due to the private part becoming loose over the years, also prevents Vaginal and Rectal Prolapse etc

Praise be to Allah
Kegel exercises are used for the purposes that you mention, according to what is said and published on several websites.
We did not have the opportunity to verify whether there are any benefits as mentioned, or any others, from any trustworthy sources in the field of natural or sports medicine.
You should ask trustworthy specialists about the benefits of these exercises, and what has been proven from studies on the topic. If there is certainty about these exercises being beneficial, then there is nothing wrong with doing them, subject to two conditions:
Firstly, it should not be for the purpose of sexual pleasure or enjoyment from pressure or inserting something into the vagina, because this comes under the heading of masturbation which is haraam, regardless of whether one reaches orgasm or not. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)
Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame”
[al-Mu’minoon 23:5, 6].
It says inal-Mubdi‘(3/22): If a person masturbates but does not ejaculate, then he has committed a haraam act, but it does not invalidate the fast. End quote.
For more information, please see:Haashiyat al-‘Ibaadi ‘ala al-Gharar al-Bahiyyah(2/3458)
InFaatawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Iftaa’(22/60) it says: I would like to know the Islamic view on deliberately emitting semen by applying pressure on the prostate (in the pubic region). This is what I do all the time. Does this come under the heading of masturbation? Please note that I cannot get married because of my financial circumstances first of all, and secondly because of my health.
Answer: Masturbation is haraam no matter what form it takes, because it is enjoying something other than what Allah has permitted of marital relations. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)
Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame.
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors”
[al-Mu’minoon 23:5, 6].
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one’s chastity. And whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a shield for him.” So he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) advised one of two ways, either marriage or fasting, for the one who is not able to get married, and he did not mention any way other than these two, which indicates that masturbation is haraam. End quote.

Secondly, these exercises should not be used if they involve inserting anything into the vagina, because this action is haraam and that there is no need for it, and there is the fear that it may lead to that which is mentioned above as being prohibited, namely masturbation or haraam pleasure.
And Allah knows best.
