Ghusl After Using Vaginal Cream?

[ummtaalib]

Q. If a woman has to use a vaginal inserting cream twice a day, does she need to take ghusl everytime she uses the cream?

 

(Query published as received)

 

A. Ghusl will not be necessary. If she is in the state of Wudhu, her Wudhu will break. If she is fasting, the fast will break by inserting the cream.
