Woman in haidh using a menstrual cup

Q: Is it permissible, for a non-virgin, to use a menstrual cup? It is a small silicon cup (like a dummy), inserted into the vagina, to collect menstrual blood. It it then emptied and washed for re-use.

A: If it is something like a tampon then do not use it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
