Menstruation: Allah has decreed it for the daughters of Adam, and there is nothing upon a woman if she breaks her fast in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. This questioner says that ten years ago she swore an oath not to take birth control pills in Ramadan. Naturally, her cycle changed; it now comes at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month. Does she have to make expiation for that?
The Shaykh : As long as she did not take anything to stop the menstruation, she owes nothing.
The questioner : She owes nothing.
The Shaykh : Yes, did she take it or not?
The questioner : She means, Shaykh, that she takes it in Ramadan so that she can fast and pray with the Muslims?
The Shaykh : Finally, tell her that this is a matter of menstruation, which is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam, and there is no disgrace upon her, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : If she breaks her fast or leaves the prayer on the days of menstruation in Ramadan? Let her be at ease and not take the pills, because the pills are harmful and disrupt the natural cycle. How many women complain of their cycle changing and becoming disordered because of these pills.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : That she should leave the pills, meaning not take them, and entrust the matter to Allah.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon Aisha while she was weeping during the Farewell Pilgrimage when she was in the state of ihram for 'Umrah. She had started menstruating before entering Makkah, so she kept weeping because she would not be able to perform the tawaf or the sa'y, and she did not perform the sa'y. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) comforted her by saying: This is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam.
The questioner : May Allah reward you and bless you, Honorable Shaykh.
