Taking pills to stop menstruation in order to complete fasting during the last ten days

Question:
The colleagues in the control room, your voice is reaching us and causing interference; we ask that you address that, may Allah preserve you? We are still with you live on air, along with your calls and inquiries. Honorable Shaykh, if a woman’s monthly period comes during the last ten days, should she take pills to stop menstruation so that she can fast the rest of the ten days and stand in prayer for the rest of Ramadan?

Answer:
If the blood has already started, taking the pills will not help; let the blood flow until it ends, and praise be to Allah, this is a legitimate religious excuse to break the fast during menstruation, and she makes up the missed days from other days. However, if she takes them before the period starts and the period is prevented from coming, this is permissible, though it is better to leave it alone, but it is permissible. If the blood is prevented from coming, she fasts and prays. Yes.
