Does internal examining, requires ritual bathing?

Islam encourages us to seek medicine if we feel illness. Some Prophetic traditions command us to seek some remedy when we face some health problems. A woman is required to go to a female doctor unless there is no female doctor or the female doctor is not highly qualified then she can go to a male doctor, bearing in mind that she must be accompanied by one of her mahrams.

Dr. Rif`atFawzi, former professor of Shari`ah at Cairo Univ., states: “If the doctor inserts his finger in the vagina for the sake of examining, then ritual bathing is not required. But the ablution is null, and a muslim lady only needs to renew her ablution in such case”.
