Question: How to use kursuf correctly
I am an unmarried woman who is still a virgin. I have been trying to use a kursuf to determine the end of my menstruation, but I don't know how to insert it without causing pain.

I tried to follow guidance from some Muslimah websites, where they stated that unmarried women should put the kursuf right at the vagina opening, at the labia minora. But this doesn't help in determining the end of my menstruation, as the kursuf can come out clean, but later I still have leftover menstrual liquid coming out.

I tried to insert by squatting as well, as advised by some websites, but it is still painful.

Hence, I have been determining my end of menstruation by waiting for a clear discharge to come out on its own.

Please advice how should I proceed in this case.

There is no need to insert just place the Kursuf, a cotton at the vaginal opening at the labia minora lips. If there is any discoloured discharge at the end of your menstruation period then it will be regarded Istihadha, so you will be able to pray and fast.

And Allah knows best
