Use of Tampons

Use of Tampons

I hope that Mufti-saheb is in good health, insha-Allah. Please could you advise on the following.

Is it permissible for a woman to use tampons during her haidh or is it not permissible to use because it prevents the blood from flowing out of the body?

Are menstrual cups permissible to use? Here too, the blood is collected and it doesn’t flow out of the body.

Could muftisaheb please provide references if possible, for the benefit and understanding of other women.
Jazakallah

Your email below refers.
The use of tampons, although permissible, will be makrooh (disliked) since in most cases they are inserted deep into the vagina.

For similar reason, the use of the Menstrual Cup will be makrooh.
And Allah Taála knows best.
