The Impact of Excessive Cleaning After Defecation on Fasting

Question
Does excessive cleaning after defecation and being meticulous about cleanliness affect fasting?
Answer

I say, and with God's help: Excessive cleaning of the anus, if it does not involve inserting a finger into the anus, does not invalidate the fast, considering it a recognized outlet, and God knows best.
