The Circumambulation of a Woman Who Uses Menstrual Suppression Pills

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a question sent to me by a sister. Her monthly period started at the beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah. She used menstrual suppression pills for the first time, and after using them, she wanted to stop them, but her condition worsened. Previously, her period lasted three days. After taking the pills, it stops for a day and then returns for a day. However, she is able to perform 'Umrah, and she is currently in the state of ihram. Is this considered menstruation, and what is obligatory for her?

The Shaykh:
She should perform tawaf during the time of cessation, during the time of purity. If her tawaf coincides with the time of bleeding, it is not valid. She should perform tawaf during the time of purity, because for some women, the pills do not help them; rather, they harm them.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Then she completes the question, saying: And until this day, she has not been able to perform tawaf, and the day of the main sacrifice (Arafah) has arrived. She knows that she has not been able to perform tawaf, for if a preventer had prevented me...

The Shaykh:
She should look for the time of purity and perform tawaf during the time of purity. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah suffice you. Meaning...

The Shaykh:
She should take a bath when she becomes pure, during the time of purity. She takes a bath and performs tawaf. She should perform tawaf after the prayer. Yes.

The presenter:
I seek forgiveness from Allah.
