The ruling on abandoning prayer due to bleeding from birth control pills
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: My wife was taking birth control pills, and she was experiencing bleeding.
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
She was taking birth control pills and experiencing bleeding, so she abandoned prayer for several weeks, thinking it was menstruation. When she asked the doctor, the doctor told her it was not menstrual blood, but rather that these pills prevent menstruation. What is required of her?
The Shaykh:
Yes, she must make up the prayers she abandoned while thinking it was menstruation, when it was not menstruation. As long as the doctor says it is not menstruation, but rather, for example, bleeding, she must make up the prayers. Yes.
