Does withdrawing an instrument inserted into the rectum invalidate ablution?
Chapter on What Nullifies Purification
Al-Mughni
Book of Purification
Primary text
If the person performing the enema inserted the tip of the syringe (*zaraqa*) and then withdrew it, ablution is invalidated. Likewise, if a probe (*meel*) or something similar was inserted and then withdrawn, ablution is invalidated because it is an exit from the passage, thus invalidating ablution, like all other discharges.
