A tampon is a menstrual product made to be inserted into
the vagina during menstruation in order to absorb blood and vaginal fluids. It
is inserted internally, within the vaginal canal, unlike a pad. A tampon that
has been properly inserted is held in place by the vagina and expands when
menstrual blood is absorbed.
Is Using
Tampons Haram?
According to what Allah says in the Glorious Quran, the
Muslim is always commanded to stay far away from najasah (impure items) and
stay purified.
وَثِيَابَكَ
فَطَهِّرْ
Purify
your garments.
{Quran
74:4}
Therefore the use of tampons is not haram or prohibited in Islam.
According to several hadiths, using cotton to block the blood flow is
acceptable. Since the majority of tampons on the market are made of cotton,
rayon, or a combination of rayon and cotton.
Quran Verse
on Menstruation
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ
عَنِ ٱلْمَحِيضِ ۖ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَٱعْتَزِلُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فِى ٱلْمَحِيضِ ۖ
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ ۖ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ
حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلتَّوَّٰبِينَ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is
harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them
until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them
from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are
constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."
{Quran 2:222}
Hadith
on Women Menstruating
We should refer to the tampons that ladies typically use
when discussing these ones. When a woman was menstruating during the time of
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), she would wear certain
clothing.
(297) Narrated Um Salama: While I was laying with the
Prophet under a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and put
on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas"
(menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then called me and made me lie
with him under the same sheet.
{Sahih Bukhari}
Conclusion
Therefore, it is wrong to claim that wearing tampons is
prohibited in Islam.
